I thought this was a stock market thing at first. hehe.

That's what you get for being a greedy dumb ass.

^ What he said.

The 600K was guaranteed, so if he picked the million, he made 400K. But if he took the 1 dollar, he lost 600K. I'd rather go with the odds on that one.

Stupid, you're so STUPID!

Of course, in this case there was something in the box. But it was a dollar, so Howie should have said, "Nothing! Absolutely nothing!"

Two things I love about this video:

1. The woman's voice telling him to keep going. She's so damned entitled her voice is cracking... Yup lady... real heroic of you.

2. The way he claps when the $1 case is opened. That's right tubby. Clap away cuz your fail is EPIC.

NO DEAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!!!

They did an experiment like this. Now imagine that you have $1,000,000, but either someone will take away $400,000 or you can flip a coin and lose either nothing or $999,999. Most people will flip the coin.

600K is about 40 years of salary for me, so...yeah. I'm not flipping any damn coin.

Nothing cheers me up like seeing stupid people fail

No way. There is a diminishing returns on what you can do with money. The first $100k is worth a lot more to me than the second $100k, and so forth. I'd take a guaranteed $100k over a 50/50 shot at $300k, even though the expected value is less.

In this retard's case, his expected value was $500k, but they were offering him $600k for it.
