A friend of mine was talking about how he thinks it's stupid that people go for crazy amounts of money on game shows when there's clearly a chance to make a decent amount of change (like five figures). He added that if you're pretty much guaranteed five figures on a game show (let's say in the moment you could say yes and take home $50k as an example), you should just take it instead of risking it all. I told him that a lot of it is spectacle (game show needs to have your attention with crazy risks), but there's still a decent chance to win a large sum of cash.
Let me ask you, if you had a guarantee of making five figures in a game show, but could take a large risk to get an even larger amount, would you do it or no? Could also be like Brewster's Millions as well (highly recommend that movie if you've never seen it), except smaller denominations.
Edit: Example Being 50k Guaranteed vs 500k With Risk
