Axelwolf, you're asking the wrong questions, as per usual.
How much value is there in winning an Olympic medal? Technically, none.
How many material resources do you have versus my co-host? The answer is far less.
How much value is there, from an anthropological perspective, in having non-material resources (reputation, respect, self-perception) versus purely material?
How much value is there for demonstration of a skill that can be used across various enterprises?
More to your point, my co-host ran betting syndicates in Las Vegas where 50K on up per game was wagered. My co-host ran the same syndicate that recruited Fezzik years later. So the idea that my co-host has no skin in the game due to being in a contest is nonsensical.
Typical Axelwolf narrow-mindededness, blindness and assumptions.
And, finally, I must mention this. You don't even do math correctly before blathering. The prize pool is 200K. At least do the math semi-correctly. That's what "APs" are supposed to be good at.
Oh, wait, I guess you read it too fast. Skimmed it, maybe? Tells you a lot about how some "APs" function. Don't read carefully. Don't do the math carefully. Just blather.
To put things in perspective, my co-host wagered more in a week than Axelwolf did in a year. But Axelwolf is giving a lecture on the value of time. All while explaining how something called "The 200K Mega-Contest" has 10K in prizes. I hope nobody here is partnered with this dude.
