I'm not quite sure what you're first sentence is referring to, but fool prefers risk to uncertainty. From his post:

given a bet on red whose payoff has utility 1, and a bet on green whose payoff has utility N, what is the critical N where I am indifferent between the two?

. . .

you can give me an N>1 and I'll go with it.
