Since I believe in the 50% solution I can't agree. For the possible advantage of
100 € I'm not gambler enough to risk 900 €. But I would always be willing to
demonstrate you that my chances for a single trial are not worse if you fake
Monty Hall - I'm sure you will succeed - and I'm the average normal candidate.
So I have less risks... IMO
