Right, so if a normal person offered me the bet (and assuming I could somehow know it was a fair coin) then yes, I would accept the bet.

If it was Omega instead of a normal person offering the bet, we run into some problems...

But if Omega doesn't actually offer the bet, and just does what is described by Vladimir Nesov, then I wouldn't give him the $100. [1]

In other words, I do different things in different situations.

Edit 1: (Or maybe I would. I haven't figured it out yet.)
