If Frank agreed to it as well, maybe. It seems like it would be rather lonely.
Does it make much of a difference whether Omega flips the coin before or after he makes you the offer? Where do you draw the line?
If Frank agreed that randomness would be fair, and Omega specified that a coin flip had occurred, then the flip happening beforehand would not matter. But taking advantage of someone because I had better luck than they did seems immoral when we are not explicitly competing. It would be like picking someone's pocket because they had been placed in front of me by the usher.
