While it&#x27;s technically +EV numerically, it&#x27;s not really +EV functionally, due to the high variance &#x2F; extremely low odds and the value of a dollar when you have none vs the value of a dollar when you have half a billion.<p>At +EV, it would mean, if I put in $60,000, I would expect to get more than $60,000 back, and on average that&#x27;s correct, though odds are still that the $60k will go to waste.<p>Furthermore, after the first $100 million, the next $100 million isn&#x27;t really going to change much in utility, and each dollar becomes worth less as you go further out, so at odds of 1 in 200m, it doesn&#x27;t really pay off unless you already have the $200m to place the bet. When you take into account that the pot might get split with multiple winners, that&#x27;s a massive risk you take.<p>I don&#x27;t think this is really viable until you have odds of 1 in 5 or 10 million with +EV, but at that point, you&#x27;ve got multiple people, hedge funds, etc, that can get together and buy the winnings.
