MAYBE NOT FOR 20 MILLION VERSUS 15 MILLION, BUT EV MATTERS FOR 150K VERSUS 200K BECAUSE THE PERSON WILL GO THROUGH THAT MONEY NO MATTER WHAT. ALSO THERE IS BANK INTEREST SO THE EV DIFFERENCE IS MUCH MUCH MORE.

In theory this is the case, but the show does occasionally offer +EV deals, espeically towards the end.

...and this of course discounts utility theory

TEH +EV DEALS ARE USUALLY 2K OR 5 BUCKS AND THEY OFFER 1100 BUT THE PERSON TURNS IT DOWN BECAUSE THEY ARE PISSED AND SAD.

who cares about EV when its life changing money, you guys say +EV but in a situation like that I wouldnt care if I gave up EV to win a guaranteed 200k. I could probably take that 200k and play within a bankroll and make countless +EV decisions to get it to a million

no because you will waste more it's just human nature. you will buy new car instead of used. you will buy bigger house. you will eat out. you will pay the hospital bill instead of declaring teh bankruptsy. if you are homeless it is lifechanging if you earn 40K it is not. 150k earns you 7.5k in interest a year, that's all it does for you. it's nice but not lifechanging.

saying people will go through that money isn't correct either, if they were managing before they'll be able to manage now. Whether they choose to do so or not doesn't matter but you're gaying up my thread stop it

I think towards the end the deals can be +EV depending on the person playing and their financial situation. The deals are -EV in real dollar expectation but that doesnt necessarilly mean that its -EV to take the cash.

If the person is middle class or lower, the amounts of money at the beginning are gonna be decent, but not life changing and its obvious they should keep playing.

As the amounts go up, the value of an individual dollar goes down as far as the player is concerned. For example, If you have 500k, and get even a 60/40 chance to double to a million, 95% of people will keep the 500k, cause the 500k from 0, holds a lot more value than the extra 500k to the million, making a lot of the deals offered with few cases easily +EV.
