"You'lre giving away 4/5 of your cash then"<br>"No, I'm ensuring I win $1000"<br><br>Damn Mike, that's actually really cool counter to the "loss aversion" effect.,(reply>), @Oliver Downing not wrong but at the end of the game the 2-3 hours is a sunk cost. It’s either you walk away w nothing after 2-3 hours or 1$ after 2-3 hours,(reply>), @LaZoR Bear eh, if you invest 2-3 hours of your time in it then coming out with $1 isn't really a win, it's just only a loss of whatever you would make in that time minus some very small value corresponding to how much you enjoyed your time all timesed by some coefficient for how much you enjoyed your time there relative to your regular job - how much disappointment you get from not winning timesed by some coefficient for transfering that into the monetary value that would effectively displace that negative emotion all minus 1$ for what you walked away with and before you say anything, yes this does account for things like hobbies and sleep providing value to you even if you're not actively making money.<br>TLdR: not really because of the concept that "time is money".,(reply>), That's my mindset in any sort of game show. I came here with 0$, so even 1$ is a win. I'm never losing money.,(reply>), mike is hella smart,(reply>), Tom had a great reaction to that as well
