When it came to the guaranteed money, I almost always took that. i go for the most EV always dont understand why you guys would not Its based on the same principle as bankroll management would you rather have 100% chance to win 5 million or 1% chance to win 501 million? i think its obvious....

The questions don't have absurd amounts like that

I think twisted /ends thread.

I've been participating in a similar study for some people at my college at uni, and it's the same thing. We will take the +EV every time, but not if the money involved is larger than a certain threshold. I'm sure even the most dedicated +EV+EVGOGOGO people are taking $5mil with 100% certainty over $10.1mil 50% shot; especially if you only get to play the scenario once (as implied in these questions). So it's not so simple as shipping the +EV option, but then the choice comes down to a personal threshold which I don't think the OP is concerned with, but is going to get results based around.

Edit: oops didn't read the above 5mil 501mil eg. But player, there are questions like the holiday one where the values concerned might be above some people's limits. I'm not sure though, didn't take this survey.

i think the "save lives" question was really interesting tho.

Stars usually gives VPPs for filling out short surveys. Filling out long surveys about how I think for free seems -EV.

I liked the questions where it deals with human lives, not just money.
+EV choices had more risk as to -EV choices. Heartless!

Imagine being helpful to someone you don't know oh nooo how much precious time will be lost for your own selfish reasons.

without any reason it's called stupid, with reason of being polite it's called manipulating yourself, with reason of being curious its called boredom or personal interests, with reason of getting something from it(personal interests included), it's called being reasonable and truthful to yourself

i cant see anything wrong with someone not wanting to do it cause it doesnt intrest him, i see however in trying to force or judge him for doing so ( also he could not be 100% serious about it, so....why so serious, son? :D )

+1

pics or it didn't happen

Yes every decision we make in life, helping others or not, should be based on EV-calculations.

What the hell.. im surprised what kind of mentality many of you guys have... have you lost all your decency.

Wait a minute, so do you stop and talk to people on the street who ask you if you are happy with your current phone service every time? And you dont blow off people calling from the bank to make a survey even if you have nothing better to do than clip your nails? We are not talking about curing aids ffs, its just a survey some unknown person posted, why is someone an asshole for not bothering to do it ?

not doing it is ok evilsky... saying you wont do it because you get nothing from it is the problem
