Would you rather win...

Thrice

If you had a competition for 1 x £50 Amazon voucher, or the chance to win 1 of 2 £25 Amazon vouchers,

Are you more like to enter on or the other?

Or do both seem just as appealing?

Or to put it another way, would you rather a £50 voucher or a £25 voucher?

Seems obvious, unless I'm missing something.

You would have twice as much chance of winning if there were 2 £25 prizes instead of just 1 at £50.

I'd rather have 1 chance to win £50 than 2 chances to win £25. Although, that's probably a bad example to use because I think most people would just go for the £50 since £25 is a bit meh.

If it was 1 entry for £1000 or 4 entries for £250, then people will probably think a bit harder since it's a more meaningful amount to "gamble" (although I'd still just go for the £1000).

I posted a poll similar to this before ... In regards to the C2W's and if you should concentrate on a couple of competitions or carpet bomb everything ... so would you rather have 100 entries into 1 competition or 1 entry into 100 competitions, the concencus was that we'd rather have 1 entry into 100 competitions.

Ideally I wouldn't want any prize of less than £2,000 to be split

I think this is worded wrongly, I am presuming that the OP means would you rather enter a comp that had one prize of £50, or two prizes of £25, meaning that you had double the chance of winning "a" prize in the second one. Personally I would enter both! But obviously, the more chances of winning, the better.

2x £25.

Not only do you get twice the chance to win baked in, but it'll probably attract fewer entries as some people have a higher threshold for entry.
