    Green sure would be tempting but I would have to go with red.

    Green. Red gives you the ability to retire and do whatever it is you want to do, but Green gives you a 50/50 shot at setting yourself, your children, and your family up for life while being able to some really cool stuff.

    I think if I took the guaranteed million, the thought of what I could do with that other $99 million would nag me, and possibly make me unhappy.

    Red. I'd hedge. Get an investor to agree to give me $25 million either way. If it comes out good he makes $75 million. That odds a lot of people would take.

    Red, 1 million dollars is enough to be secure... 100 Million is enough to ruin your life & values.

    I'd get a group of friends together and have all take green. Split evenly what we get. Odds of winning far more than green are much much greater.

    This, but I think you meant green. I'd get some more out of him too. $40 million or so, guaranteed. Easy decision!

    Smart people would take Red.
    Idiots would take Green.

    Any questions?

    I have a feeling most people who have made a lot of money would completely disagree with you.

    Green is a gamble that has a 50% success rate... and a 10,000% return upon success.

    I wouldn't begrudge anyone for picking Red but the monetary odds for Green are fifty times better than those for red. That's pretty damn smart to me.

    P.S. for Cyclonesince78: Love the avatar, this next hour is going to go by much too slowly...
