ility but makes you lose $10,000 with 0.01% probability?





How many times would you push a button that makes you win $1 with 99.9% probability but makes you lose $10,000 with 0.01% probability?

The expected value is .999*1+.001*(-10000), = -9. You expect to lose $9 every time you push the button. This could be a fun casino game.
