The expected reward is just one-week's pay --- you have to offer better than that with all the uncertainty ;)
What if the reward is potentially infinite amount of money? If the investigation proved our current understanding of physics wrong, that could lead to historic breakthroughs in natural science.
Better yet, we don't know what the odd is. It might only need 32 consecutive heads.
