Are you? An 85% chance of winning $240.0m has a value of $204.00 m. You might not be able to sell your chance for $200m, but you could probably get close. But the big point was that you could sell your 85% chance of $240m for a lot more than $5.0 million.

Lol. Are you legitimately taking that deal if you’re the one holding 200 mil and I’m selling the 85% chance to make 40 more?
