Always go with the guaranteed bread. Hell, it's a millie. If you manage money well, that can last you a good amount of time.

Lol where is the logic in this?? So you would take a 50/50 chance by throwing your million on black but not take a 50/50 chance to win 100 million?

You got that right. let me reword it for you. i wouldnt throw the whole millie on black prolly 20% of it and play around with it alittle in gamblin. why take a 50/50 chance to win 100million when im guarenteed the easy mill ?

look id take the million without thinking. take 200k out to gamble if i lose i lose, atleast im still walking away with something in my pocket at the end of the day than taking a 50/50 chance of winning 100 million and walking away with nothing. I didnt mean to say id blow the whole million on black

take the 50% chance.
1 million is a decent buffer for bad times, but these days, that amount is basically just a pre-funded retirement...no more.
the $100 million, pays off the mortgage of every individual in my family, allows me to put my children and grandchildren through college, and pretty much kick back for the rest of my life.

If the red=10,000 ,that would be a little more interesting. Taking a mil is a no brainer to me.

Of course you could live off that.
But 4K a month isn't enough to support the lifestyle I ultimately want so I wouldn't stop working. If I got a million dollars now I'd pay off my school loans but continue residency and still work as a doctor. If I invest it right I can retire earlier
Benefit of taking the 1 mill - immediately become debt free and retire sooner
Downside - Still have to work to support the lifestyle I want. Would always regret not taking the chance at changing my life forever
Benefit of taking the 100 mill - can immediately retire and do whatever the hell I want
Downside - don't get any money. Stay in debt ~10 years longer. Still work the same exact career if I had taken the milly
PS - Lol at all the people that think it's easy to turn $1 mill into $100 mill

I'm taking milli. Even if it gets taxed down to $600K, I'm still paying off the house ($150K), investing ($300K), and then going stupid with the other buck fitty.
Yeah, I'd still have to work but I could take a couple years off and have a great time, and then wait for the right job that I would actually enjoy.
To lose an opportunity to do that for a chance at 100 milli, not worth it, IMO.

Lawyers/Doctors have a whole different mindset on this, though. Yall can make that mill in 3 years, it's nothing. But for most people, it's a big deal.

Please tell me what you do so I can switch career paths.I think ill take the chance at 100 million. I could make a mil in a couple of years through my career, so a million wouldnt really change much. But 100 million!! I could have my mother quit her job and send her off somewhere real nice. Bout to flip a coin and see what happens... Tails-100 Million, Heads-Im dead
Tails baby! Yea ill take my chance

I'd take the risk. You can do way more with 100 million then 1 million.

At this point in my life I would have to take the million just because it is guaranteed. I know a million isn't really a lot of money, but that million could be very useful. I could pay off any student loans I have and be debt free and then still have a good amount of money left over to put in the bank. Sure I would have to work, but I know eventually I will be doing something that I love so that's not a big deal. Yes 100 million could definitely change my life forever but if I'm on the wrong side of that 50/50 chance I would be sick knowing that I could have had 1 million instantly.

take the instant milli to have a 48% on doubling up to 2 million?
Why not take the 2% increase and go for 100 mill
