Disclaimer: I am shamelessly copying a poll I saw on Reddit because I’m curious if the results will be different here. Everyone in the world must choose blue or red. If 80% or more choose blue, everyone survives. If less than 80% choose blue, everyone who chose blue dies and everyone who chose red lives. What do you choose? _Poll ([view on site](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/polls-only-no-discussion/953642/5450))_ ---

For the purposes of this post assume that gambling is fully legal where you are, and you can easily liquidate your assets for full value. Inspired by Velocity’s most recent thread. Event X may happen in the next couple of weeks. You’re convinced enough of event X that you’re prepared to describe it as “all but certain” The bookmakers are offering X at 2.5 (if you bet $10 you get $15 plus your $10 back), how much would you bet? _Poll ([view on site](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/polls-only-no-discussion/953642/5451))_ ---
