HYPO: $3M cash, 300th best in world at a sport for 5 yrs, 3000th best for 20 yrs
Poast new message in this thread
Date: December 18th, 2025 3:52 PM Author: cordovan aromatic skinny woman You can choose one of the following:
$3M in cash, tax free today
You instantly become the 300th best in the world at any sport of your choosing--and you'll be 300th best for the next 5 years.
You instantly become the 3000th best in the world at any sport of your choosing--and you'll be 3000th best for the next 20 years.
For the sports choices, you're still you in terms of size, appearance, background, etc. You'll just be much stronger, faster, more coordinated, etc.
You can pick the sport and position, though you can't be a basketball center/forward if you're less than 6'6"/6'3" IRL as that would be entirely unreasonable.
While in general you would remain 300th or 3000th best for the 5 or 20 years, you have the same proclivity to injury as an average pro rookie. So if you take enough hits, you may get injured and might not be 300th/3000th best until you recover.
You also need to work out and practice as much as the average pro to maintain, or you'll start slipping.
Which do you pick? And if one of the sports ones, which sport do you choose? |

You'd probably make the most in the NBA. Def more than 3 million. I'd do soccer though there are so many leagues everywhere, the 300th best player is probably at a decent big club in europe making a good wage |

Anyway, how do you make it to the NHL? At least with baseball and soccer, there are a bunch of pro to semi-pro leagues all over the world, so there would be a reasonably clear path to trying out for a low-level team, dominating, and making it to the shoe. |

Date: December 18th, 2025 4:52 PM Author: cordovan aromatic skinny woman No. On day 1, you'll be as good as the 300th in the world. To maintain that, you need to work out, rest, eat right, to the same extent an average pro does to maintain his level.
If you don't, you'll slip at the same rate an average pro would. You'll still probably be really good practicing 2 hours a week and going for a light jog. |

Date: December 18th, 2025 4:34 PM Author: Autistic Khaki Temple Pistol Seems like soccer is the way to go. 300th best in the world likely makes you top 30 eg in the Bundesliga which puts you in line to make about 7M euros a year before endorsements, social media, appearance fees, can start camps and coaching clinics, could easily turn it into 100M inside of a decade with decent hustle and some savvy.

In any event, how much would the 300th best poker player make? 3000th? You have to put up a bunch of money too, and there is a lot of variance in there that might cause you to start losing. |

Date: December 18th, 2025 5:37 PM Author: Charcoal thirsty bawdyhouse trump supporter we also don't know who counts as a poker player. being the 300th best out of anyone currently alive who's ever played the game would be pretty damn cool. most people haven't played enough to know how they compare, so surely there are tons of savants out there who would make incredible poker players who either made more money elsewhere who haven't played enough to realize their gift.

Date: December 18th, 2025 5:05 PM Author: internet-worthy grizzly marketing idea point How does this work with football and all the different positions?
Seems like soccer is the best way to monetize this given how many international teams there are, but I’m leaning toward the $3M. |
|
Date: December 18th, 2025 5:55 PM Author: cordovan aromatic skinny woman If all teams were re-drafting all players--arranged with the top-level pro teams going first, then bigger time minor leagues and top D1 programs...--you would be as good as the 300th or 3000th person off the board.
Who goes off the board is weighted by position. E.g., 20 QBs probably go in the top 300 due to their value and the scarcity of NFL-level talent. Fewer kickers or linebackers would go in the top 300. So, you might be the 20th best QB or the 2nd best kicker or the 15th best linebacker.
Of course, you won't actually get drafted. That's just how good you'll be. You have to find your own way onto a team. |

Date: December 18th, 2025 6:13 PM Author: racy gunner orchestra pit 300th best for 5 years. Soccer. Very easy hypo.
Sure there are injury risks, but i'd be willing to take that risk for glory and the likelihood that i make substantially more than $3 million in my 5 years. |

Date: December 19th, 2025 12:26 PM Author: Pearly kitchen digit ratio I'm taking the cash. The way I see it, no matter how good I am, I am going to have a very difficult time convincing a scout to overlook the fact that I am in my late 40's. Even if I am the 300th best soccer player in the world, scouts are going to assume that I'm some freak of nature that ages slowly, but they'll still think that a long-term contract is too risky because I'm about to hit the wall. Most likely I'll never make it to a big European professional league, and, even if I do, I'll have one or two years left at best. Plus if I ever get injured, I am definitely done here. It'd be smarter to just take the cash rather than hustle like crazy for a hypothetical bigger payout that most likely will never materialize. Now if I were in my early 20's, I would absolutely become a top 300 soccer player for 5 years.
If e-sports count as sports and I were a hot, young girl, I might try to become the 3000th ranked player in Fortnite or some other super popular online game. If you are in the top 3000 of a game played by millions, then you will be in the top 0.001% of players. If I started a Twitch stream where I dominated every game I entered while showing tons of cleavage, I'm sure I would be raking in millions in no time. And my gaming skills would last about as long as my looks. I don't think that top 3000 would be good enough to become a major streamer unless I had the cleavage to go along with it, though. And that's pretty much the only scenario I can think of where top 3000 is good enough to get you more than $3 million. |

Date: December 19th, 2025 1:14 PM Author: cordovan aromatic skinny woman Thinking only about the money is thinking too narrowly.
