I would if I tried to exceed the easy $125,000.
They have bowling alleys in other places. Further, the hypo doesn't seem to require daily bowling.
Yep. I think anybody who has averaged ~>170 in bowling and doesn't hate the sport now for some reason should take the bowling option without hesitation with somebody in your position even better positioned to make seriously good money in that year.
I don't see where the hypothetical prevents you from going to an alley of your choice to switch it up. Presumably you'd just have to pay instead of get the free unlimited lane at home or a conveniently dedicated place as suggested.
That explains the lack of golf.
I truly don't view this as being much different than how I currently generate income. My pay at my real job directly correlates to the amount I work and I have enough work where I could work 20 hours per day every day. Of course, that's crazy, so I still take vacations and don't work those hours even if doing so is not "maximizing my RIO." So even if I couldn't bowl elsewhere I'd still take a vacation or two as I currently do.
Or live in a bowling alley for a year and make an extra million.
You could kick it down the lane and get 10 strikes by lunch time.
They serve beer there.
Plenty of beer. Plenty of whatever you want.
I used to consistently average 220-230 year after year. Oddly enough, I never was that into bowling. I was just good at it. Never bowled in more than one league at a time and maybe 5 tournaments a year. When I was in college, I worked at a bowling alley, and there were big money cash games after hours when the bowling alley was closed. $50 a game per participant. Some nights we had 20 guys, so high score in any game would get $1K on nights like that. I remember having 11 strikes in a game for 3 consecutive games doing that for an 858 series (without a 300). There were nights I left with $5K. Basically paid for college through bowling. I probably couldn't do quite that well now, but if I was bowling sting after string, day after day, I'd get back in the swing pretty quick.
I feel like this is an extremely easy one.
fine. I'll do it just to avoid my family responsibilities for a year.... And the shoes
you call those scores golf?
So you can or can't go to another "alley"?
I'd be in favor of having a gang of FBG guys getting together to bowl and take the money from all the strikes to support a never-ending party. Think of the food, booze, and hired help that we could have. Throw on some NFL games (or seasonal sports) on the monitors and have fun with it. Have a rotating cast of characters. You guys could spend all my strike money, I wouldn't care. It would be a blast.
You just lamented that you hadn't played in three weeks or something.
Also, since you aren't trying to score you don't have to worry about spares. Just full set of pins every throw. That really increases the quantity of attempts which also will help with consistency.
