You choose a strategy that's optimized for all cases regardless of probabilities, despite the fact that it is (again, demonstrably, proven in the hypothetical itself) suboptimal for the most likely case. Your strategy guarantees you at least a thousand dollars, my strategy doesn't guarantee anything, but in the most likely case, reliably provides the optimal results for that case (that Omega's prediction matches your choice, whatever it is - there is no better outcome for this case than $1000000). -

There's no strategy, it doesn't matter what you pick except leaving $1000 on the table. B is already either full or empty.

Strategy in the game theory sense, dalit. There are two strategies: two boxing and one boxing. B is already either empty or full, but we have information about whether or not it is likely to be full if a given strategy is chosen. Pretending otherwise is asinine, this is a fundamental part of the problem.
