Default Re: You are heads up at the fina WSOP ME table and pondering a deal...

if it's Bill Gates then it will be easy to persuade you he doesn't care much about the variance so if you wanted a deal you'd probably have to accept less than your current equity. But against any of the other three you might well get more than your current equity.

Variance is the key factor here. For most of us this would be a once in a lifetime thing. For most of us, the difference between 2 Mio and 18 Mio is the difference between being financially secured and filthy rich.

Bill Gates would be different. The money would be no difference to him. So I do not think I would be getting less than my current equity, I wouldn't get anything for that reason. If I am lucky, Bill would like to appear generous and then I would maybe get a lot more than my equity.

Sklansky might be risk averse but he is somewhat cocky and would put some value to win the bracelet untainted, e.g. sans deal.
