Default other people\'s cards

Would you take this bet?

1. You can see everyone else's cards (including yours) the entire tournament
2. There are 2000 people.
3. You are the only one who has this ability, and nobody knows you have it.
4. You have to bet $1000 dollars that you will win it, you get nothing besides the $1000 for actually winning it.

No, not with only +1000 for winning and -1000 for losing.

It's funny, that if you really had this prop bet, the only way you would win is by folding powerhouses to raises preflop, i.e. folding AA when KK reraises you all in preflop. If winning was your only objective then you could basically only put yourself all-in on the river or if you had you opponent drawing dead. So it would lead to you being more selective and laying down more monsters if you were outchipped.

I'm not sure of this. It depends very strongly on how your opponents respond.

That is assuming your opponents know. If your opponents don't know that you can see their cards, your plays are obvious and I'd probably take the bet with even worse odds.
