I think it's an either or...either get $20 with a make or get 2 years in jail with a miss.

Let's add a wrinkle....You get 10 tries. You make one, you get $20M clear. You miss them all you go to jail for 2 years, but when you get out, you'll be given $2M clear. Change anyone's answer?

:cool: I am attempting to negotiate a better deal for myself.

My wife might answer differently than I would. :lol2:

 

This sounds like a win-win for her!

So, $20M if you make or $2M and 2 years in jail if you miss?

Yep.

Yep.

 

Well, I would do it for sure even on the first deal. I wouldn't be able to sign up fast enough for your deal. Does this change anyone's mind who definitively said "no" on the first deal?

I was doing it anyway, so that sounds even better haha!

At your age, you are probably right.

 

Make the most of the time you have left. :walk:

 

I should be SO offended...except for the fact that you are right! :lol2:

Not me, 2 years with my family is worth more than the $2m at this point in life. As I said, if I were in my twenties with no wife or kids I'd take a shot at the first deal and couldn't sign up fast enough for the second one.

I'm confident enough to say nobody on BGP could hit 4-10 half court shots. My good buddy Spindoc is a great athlete, and I wouldn't wager on him to hit 4-10 half court shots.

 

At one point in my life I would've taken that bet & had a very good shot at 4 out of 10. Nowadays, I'd be lucky to make 2.
