Which of these two lottery tickets would you buy?

I don’t know about you, but I’ll take the professional ticket.

If you’re going to invest time and money into something your child does, invest it in something with a higher chance of a higher return.

When the time comes to make a decision as to what sport/activity your child should practice at a “higher level”, if ever that time may come, might as well pick a sport that has a much higher return, for a similar investment…
