Why do people guess? Statistically there's no benefit?

Chances of getting right = 1
Chances of getting wrong 4
Points gained for right = (1) x 1 = 1
Points lost for wrong (4) X -0.25 = -1
Net profit = 0?

Am I getting something wrong or are people just misinformed? And what is this thing about eliminating 1 or 2 and guessing in order to break even?

Your’re going to break even even on a completely random guess (Which can never happen as you read and thought about the question)

SO WHY DO PEOPLE GUESS?
