To look at this in a mathematical sense. First you need to know how many dollars you have. Let's say you have $100. 1 in a 100 that you will give your last dollar away ASSUMING you give one dollar at a time.
Next you have to find out the probability of someone selfish enough to take your very last dollar. Well, to take your last dollar the person has to be selfish so 1 to 1 or 100% probability they have to be selfish unless you don't tell them it's your last dollar.
So basically, the probability is 1 : however many dollars you have. So if you have $100, 1 in a 100 chance.
Hope that was somewhat entertaining :P
