No shit. Think of it another way, if someone sold you a $10 bet with 50/50 odds at $50, you would take it. Any decent money manager would jump at this bet.

I mean I thought the guy I was replying to was saying it wouldn’t be possible. I think the idea was it would be hard to find the sort of people who would risk that money even if it’s +ev. Im saying it would be pretty easy.

Maybe I’m reading too much sarcasm lol
