This post (https://ift.tt/GJHhMNt) showed up on wallstreetbets and the more interesting question to me that came up was: how much is this opportunity worth? There must be a way to calculate how much someone would pay for a 50/50 chance to win $1 billion, so I’m curious how that would be calculated and what that dollar amount is?
