Does everyone not understand this yet? The only winning move with a genie is to not play.

I think I saw a video once explaining how the only winning move is to make your wish be to let the genie grant you what you desire most.

Because only the genie as the wish granter has access to all possibilities a wish good grant, but you don't, so your wish could always be misinterpreted, while the genies knowledge cannot be.

You are now dead. Killed by 100 million dollars, in gold, falling onto your head.

Genie would know you don't desire to die though, or that you would want it in gold, so that wouldn't happen.
