Uh
If the 50k is a sure thing but you chose to flip a coin instead, whatever the logic says, lizard brain says "you had 50k right there and you lost it, you greedy dumbass"

@TeflonTrout@beige.party @david_chisnall@infosec.exchange @davidnjoku@mastodon.world absolutely, we’re hardwired to think that way. It’s all about how we frame it. We could think, “well I could’ve had £50k but declined that and *chose* to gamble for the chance of £1m, them’s the breaks, that’s the nature of chance”. I’m guessing those who would feel the ‘loss’ of £50k more acutely would not be likely to take the flip.
