It's not always easy to make the right decisions. Are you a gambler? If you're offered 1 btc without playing or 5 btc by playing (with a chance of 2 to 1). What do you do?

You know what they say about a bird in hand being worth more than two in the bush.
For me, I wouldn’t need much time to deliberate on this as I would certainly go with taking one bitcoin. I’ll prefer to go with something sure. The 1 bitcoin that’s being offered is certain while there is the possibility of losing out entirely while trying out your luck to get 5 bitcoins.
There may be people willing to risk it and go for the 5 bitcoin. I wouldn’t exactly say some people amongst those bunch are motivated by greed to do so but it’s obvious the thought of having 5 bitcoins could be tempting.

Actually this could really give out that kind of doubt or hesitance on not to get that 5 Bitcoin because if the agreement is that you could be able to get all the winnings you could be able to win up on using that 5BTC
on which we know that this kind of balance isnt something that you could really be able to experience because there are average gamblers who cant really be able to have that 5BTC balance. This is why if you
are somehow that a true gambler and wouldnt mind about securing that 1 BTC then you would be going into that 5 option on which you would really be thinking about those probabilities
that you might be able to make something much more that 1BTC with that kind of balance.So choices would really be that depending into those people who had those kind of thinking.
