I put a detailed discussion of this in another post - if I'm getting robbed, I probably have some small bills in my pocket and more in my wallet along with stuff that can ID me. So I'll toss those small bills out and I'm going to bolt. Now, I am a damn fast runner, I'm big, trained in martial arts and in very good shape. If I don't see any way out then yeah I might just submit, but that puts me into a vulnerable position. If I toss some money out there, it's unlikely he's going to chase without grabbing it that gives me a few seconds lead and I'm probably faster than this guy in the first place, so by the time he reacts he has got $40 guaranteed and I'm at least a football field away. If he chases me and manages to catch up as I am getting tired, I'm going to do my very best to kill him. The vast likelihood is if I'm in a rough neighborhood I'm carrying a knife of my own, which he probably doesn't expect and I also carry one hand openers so when I feel I have an advantage I'll let him close get it into him and then take off running again. If no knife I'll go looking for a brick or a stick.

I've used this technique sans the $40 dollars. One thing to keep in the back of your mind, "do they have a mobile phone?". If they do, a football field might not be enough.
