Think of someone you hate. You have a choice between:

A. You getting $50k and that person getting $10k
B. You getting $25k and that person getting $0

If you choose B then you are a moron.

I don't get why everyone is hating on this OP.

What if it actually goes like this:

A: You get $10,000, person you hate gets $0
B: You get $10,007, person you hate gets $700,000

Or we could be even more accurate, and say that there's a tiny % chance you get stuck a massive amount, a 30% chance you improve your win rate by a small amount (the rest of the time nothing changes), and a 100% chance the person you hate wins a ridiculous sum of money.

This isn't even an altruism thing at this point - you're presenting a false dichotomy, and it's a pretty dishonest appraisal of the situation.
