I agree that we all want to avoid being a loser. Most of the time we choose decision that we feel safe and less risky and I was surprised by this episode about the choice I made. I am unaware of the cognitive bias I have called loss aversion. Thanks for sharing this!

I actually chose the $45 than $100. What I am thinking is for short-term only, I never realized the big difference when it will be offered to you a hundred times. So for this video, you should see the data first before deciding things, you also need to think for long term reward rather than choosing what's best at the moment, when you know you will lose big time.
