@PigIey: Yeah, confusing. You're crazy :I
You're statistically significantly better off flipping the coin vs taking $50/$25. On average you'd gain $20,000 per coin flip.
Coin Flip Possibilities: Heads or Tails
Gain from heads: 49,950
Gain from tails: -10,050
Average gain: 20,000
50 Dollars please.
So are we all assuming the coin isn't rigged/person isn't some sort of a scammer?

I don't know I'd rather be in Jigsaw's trap D:[/quote]
What if he gives you the two options while you are strapped to some chainsaw meat grinder?
I would choose the coin.
Flip the coin I'm feelin lucky.
I just played the coin game, flipped it and I got 50,000 dollahs
Ima yolo this and flip the coin.
50 is a game -10,000 is 200 games
my answer should be clear
