Question:

Make the same assumptions as in Problem 10. Martin's friend, Billy, wants to bet on the Yankees. He offers Martin the following wager: if the Yankees win, Martin will pay Billy $300; if the Giants win, Billy will pay Martin $300. What is Martin's expected payoff from this wager? Would any risk-averse person accept Billy's wager, considering it by itself? Assuming that Martin also has the opportunity to buy the Yankees t-shirt business, will he accept Billy's wager? Explain your answer in light of Martin's risk preferences.
