    Green. It's statistically worth 50 times as much.

    $1m is about 650k and while that's a very nice chunk of money it doesn't mean much over a lifetime.

  3. Sure, you would still have to work but you could go part-time, you would never have to worry about a mortgage and you could have a right flash car too.

    Green for me, I don't have anything as it is, so I may as well go for green and try and get lucky. Like astro said, £650k would be jubbly and it would take away most of your worries but it will soon go, so for me I'd choose the green one.

  5. Being a family man, I'd go red. Although it wouldn't set me up for life, it is a life changing sum of money. As I said it #3, it would mean no mortgage, nice car and not needing to work full-time, sounds great to me.

    Green is a gamble where you could end up with nothing.

    Guess I'm not a greedy person, just lazy and red guarantees a bit of relief <ok>

    Doesn't even make sense; 50% 'change' of 100mill? Change from buying what? If it's the change off a pack of Haribo you're sorted, if it's the change from Comolli's weekly shopping bill you're ****ed.

    I wouldn't say taking green would be greedy, I suppose it depends what life style you're living. If you have a family and a mortgage, then red would probably be the best option, but I don't have a mortgage, neither do I have a car (yet) and I don't have a family (I have a family, but I mean wife and kids <ok>) so for me I don't have much to lose. That's why I'd choose green.

  12. there are two buttons; red and green. The red is an instant $1m win. The green is a 50% gamble on $100m. which do you pick?

  13. Of course its being greedy. You have the option of taking a large amount of money that would change most people's lives for the better including offspring, or gamble so that you are able to completely retire and tell your kids they never need work.

    I'd still go with green, I don't have anything as it is so the chance to win $100m would be incredible, 650k would be great but the chance to win $100m would be amazing.

    Think we need a poll <ok>

    Green may or may not be greedy, but it's a gamble.
    I don't gamble so I'd definitely take red.
    Imagine if you go for green and end up with nowt you'd kick yourself from arsehole to kingdom come for missing out on the mil.
    £650k may not be the fortune it seems, but careful managing of it would set you up for life provided you don't have delusions of a grand lifestyle.

    Red, you can flip that 650 as well if you work the money right and grow it. It would ****ing help me with the coaching as now that I am at the "A" level everything is now so ****ing expensive ( especially UEFA ones which I plan to have 5 years at least from now).

    Would also help easily set up volunteer, intern work at professional clubs which is always a foot in the door to bigger things ( unless you are Mansfield).
