Not good. All you've achieved is redirected Omega to situations in which you don't take its money. It's better to have Omega where you do take its money, it's free money.
For some reason, this reply specifically cemented the argument for me. Thank you - I now agree with you.
Edit: If it helps, my confusion was the appearance of causation from I-refuse-the-£10 to I-receive-the-£1e6. When you made this comment, I mentally went back and saw that the fraction of possible worlds in which Alpha gives me the million is unchanged by Omega's prediction, and therefore that I can take the tenner without affecting it.
Right - and finally I am there as well :-)
