“Prop bets are a significant part of the poker world. People make all kinds of bets that involve money where they perceive they have an edge or get something out of it. But would people jump in a shark tank, eat a massive pile of wasabi, or live in their hotel room for a month if money weren’t involved? Money is the motivator. Our drive to accomplish some difficult feat or challenge plays a role, but if money weren’t attached as an end goal, how many of these prop bets would ever happen?”
Admit it. You did it for the money! - Zimba
A lot less. But people still jumped in that shark tank when there was no bet involved…
