Well if you were basing it on the expected value of the wins - expected value of losses, the we would expect a negative relationship between age and willingness to participate. I would argue that, mathematically, unless it is nearly impossible to make a half court shot, that the vast majority of the time, the value of expected pay-out would exceed the losses.
