I think my answer would be “I would have agreed, had you asked me when the coin chances were .5 and .5. Now that they’re 1 and 0, I have no reason to agree.”
Seriously, why stick with an agreement you never made? Besides, if Omega can predict me this well he knows how the coin will come up and how I’ll react. Why then, should I try to act otherwise. Somehow, I think I just don’t get it.

It doesn’t matter too much but we can assume the Omega doesn’t know how the coin will come up.

That would be rather futile, wouldn’t it? Of course, deciding to give Omega $100 now isn’t trying to change how you would react, it is just choosing your reaction.
