I have a button, Jow Forums

Every time you press this button, you have a 99.9% chance of receiving $5.

Every time you press this button, you also have a 0.1% chance of losing $20,000. If you do not have $20,000 in liquid assets, your personal belonging will be automatically liquidated until the debt is covered.

How many times do you press the button, Jow Forums?

Twice

700

Probably like 15 times

not worth to press the button for $5

raise the reward or lower the odds

I'd pay a gipsy to do it, telling him that he gets one dollar every time he presses it

I press once and keep holding down. It's one press and I'm getting $5x60 a second at least.

5000 times.

this guy is too much of a bitch to press it ONCE!

HAHA

what a sad little pussy!

No
It’ll take 4000 presses to reach $20,000 in which time I can expect to lose 4 times

does the button respect the legal difference between ownership and control rooted in common law?
If yes, I put everything I have into a trust and press the button infinite times, putting each $5 into a trust

One and a half presses

After 52 button presses I'd have gained $260 with a ~ 94.9304168146265579% chance of not having lost $20,000, that's the safe place to stop unless you're very unlucky.

I guess a simpler solution than trust is to make a button pushing robot, then cede that robot to a llc owned by me.
The llc distributes dividend each time a button generates $5
After a -$20k, the llc is liquidated, but its only asset is a robot.
A "robot" that pushes a button can be made for

This nigga did the odds and I like them but

would still go with just this.

There are people who get paid 12 something a hour to push buttons.

...

>what is martingale
a good thread died for this

This. Would rather do 99.99% chance of loss of $5 and .01% chance of winning 20k. 20k debt literally ruins lives

I'll press it non stop for 8 hours straight. If I hit that 1/1000 losing press, you can liquidate my dirty underwear.

Tell me where do you learn such thing?

About Tree fiddy

the expected value is -15.005, so fuck off I wont press it

user if this seems like a good deal to you there are literally crypto gambling sites where you can press this button (except they don't have odds this bad). Don't be a pussy.

I dont

this is the only valid answer. Everyone with the tendency to make -EV decisions will probably never make it in the long run

this. losing $15 in expectation each time you press
