Interesting. I am assuming you would. Can you briefly explain your reasoning?


Unless you really, really need 100 million, no reasoning will make that a good bet. The expected value is 10 million, and since that's what you're putting at stake, you have nothing to gain. Whereas the utility value of a guaranteed 10 million, assuming you're not very rich already, is huge. It's more than an average lifetime of hard work.
