Disagree. Sure - you don't get many games involving millions of dollars, but you do get many for smaller amounts.

I could put all my extra money into paying off a low interest mortgage (guaranteed return), or I could put it in an index fund (higher average return, with no guarantees, and a potential for a loss).

And working at startups: Not sure the expected value is high there. May be higher than working at a FAANG. I doubt it.
