Hi. This is a rather old post, so you might not get too many replies.

Newcomb's problem often comes with the caveat that, if Omega thinks you're going to game the system, it will leave you with only the $1,000. But yes, we like clever answers here, although we also like to consider, for the purposes of thought experiments, the least convenient possible world in which the loopholes we find have been closed.

Also, may I suggest visiting the welcome thread?
