Which would you Rather?

[DatRedDude]

Why choose? If you're with a couple of guys who pay '51' money, you can have both.

This question might be a more debatable argument if we were talking say...$100.

I was just about to write this so i will just say "what he said"

I can hit my ace and get 10$, the group I play with when not playing league plays 51.

I have been paid on all 5 of my aces, 4 of which were either a tourney or league.

 

[Peter S]

I would take the ace if it was for league play as I am still looking for my first ace pin which are given for aces in league rounds. May also win an ace pot.

I am not an animal so I would take $10 over a ace in a solo practice round for example.

 

[Quinum]

Ace for sure.

 

[armiller]

If you would have asked me a week ago, I wouldn't have even thought about it. But I finally got my first ace last weekend, so the $10 was tempting. In the end, I did vote ace. If it were $25, or a fancy disc of some sort, maybe it would be a different story.

 

[ru4por]

I don't want to be given an ace. An ace is a surprise. A random gift of luck and happenstance, at a given time, determined by fate. The utter joy I get from one is the random, surprising nature of it. I'll take the ten bucks, I'll get the ace later anyway.

 

[Johnny Conservative]

Equally satisfied with both.

 

[Aim For The Chains]

I'd take an ace over $10, any day, over and over.

1000 days in a row?

 

[grodney]

1000 days in a row?

Okay smarty.....you got me.

[ThrowBot]

1000 days in a row?

That does sound like 3 awesome years!

Also, even if you took the $10 every day for 1000 consecutive days, you'd have...$10,000? It seems like an impressive sum, but spread out over that amount of time it's not really that much money. (Obviously that's dependent on your personal circumstances, cost of living, etc.) I think that most people have earnings potential significantly higher than that over a similar period of time.

So far most people have voted that they'd prefer an ace over the money. A corollary question might be: how many aces would you have to hit before you get bored and just take the $10? New thread coming for this "Iterative Ace-or-Money Question"

Some of you guys are pretty hard up for cash apparently.

 

[jjtwinnova]

I have never found an ace lying on the sidewalk. I can get 10 bucks mowing my neighbors lawn if I wanted too, but he can't give me an ace. For someone who hasn't gotten that ace yet, I believe it is much better than 10 dollars. You can't use an ace to buy a candy bar that you won't remember forever. An ace lives in your mind as a reminder of the throw of a lifetime.

 

[Stardoggy]

Aces are an experience. $10 is just a small amount of cash.

As I've grown older, the experiences in life have become much more important than a few bucks. If the ten bucks bothers me that much, I'll just drink yellow beer one night instead of IPA's or stouts.

Ace every time.

 

[scarpfish]

1000 days in a row?

That wasn't the question asked.

And I'd suspect a great degree of us make at least ten bucks just being idle in one shift at work.

 

[armiller]

Or blessed with abundant aces?

Has nothing to do with a persons status.

Aces are just a throw on a disc golf course. Its fun and a good time.

$10 can do a lot of things. Lots of $10 bills can do a lot more things. And to say $10k in 3 years isnt a lot of money well your just being silly.

Id take a free 10k investment every 3 years and never have another ace. Ill probably forget by the time im 60 years old. Hell im having a hard timr remembering the handful i do have and the most recent were just another throw.

@danjon maybe some of you just make terrible financial decisions

He is the one who said over and over...

 

[grotto]

Come on. You know you'll always remember the first one.

Oh god! How I wish I could forget!:wall::wall: Oh wait, you were talking aces.

Is there some genie standing by the box asking which I'd prefer?

I'll take his 10 bucks then throw an ace!

 

[markmcc]

In my world $10 isn't a lot of money. So I'll take the ace any time.
