I choose Red.
The question is similar to the problem of, 1) You have a safe job with a reasonable salary, or 2) You have a lower-paying job at a company that could go bankrupt at any moment, but you have money in stock options.
I chose 2, and the gamble worked. However, it was more like the Red/Green game where you are allowed to play multiple times. In that situation, you play Green, knowing that you will always have a chance to play Red sometime in the future.
If you only get to play once, then Red is reasonable.
When I saw the title of the thread, I was thinking of this game Twilight Zone - Button Button
