can somebody with an abacus figure out how many strikes per day would make going that route better than taking the cash up front.
TIA.
That is not really the calculation though. You need to figure out how much excess is sufficient in order to justify spending a year in a bowling alley.
For instance, if I was guaranteed to make 200K from bowling, is that excess 75K enough to justify bowling that much. Probably. But if it was make 150K bowling or 125K sitting on my *** - I am sitting for sure.
I am not a very good bowler, but even I get a few strikes if I am drinking beers and barely trying and we bowl for an hour. In that hour I only play two frames if I am lucky, so only have a chance to get a strike 20 times or so. If it was just me on a lane, even assuming no progression, I think I could easily get 10 strikes in an hour.
We need some average bowler from here to go to a bowling alley and see how many strikes they can get in an hour
