Adults opinions on risk taking United Kingdom (UK) 2015

This statistic illustrates the willingness to take a guaranteed amount of money or chance to win a higher amount among British adults as of January 2015, by family financial status. Somewhat unsurprisingly, the majority of people in the group of "striving and supporting" (82.5 percent) would take a guaranteed 1,000 British pounds over a one in five chance of winning 10,000 British pounds. On the other hand among "busy achievers", nearly 25 percent would take a chance of winning more money.

United Kingdom: which would you choose: a guaranteed 1,000 British pounds or a one in five chance of winning 10,000 British pounds?

Characteristic	Guaranteed £1,000	1 in 5 chance of £10,000
