That's what makes it a funny business. You get your lifetime of money up front but you also put at risk your lifetime of health in the process.

It's basically like being put in a scientific aging machine. You live your life ten times as fast but you get paid and pay for it at the same time.

Ask Kevin Everett if all of the money pro player gets is worth it?
