people say the same thing about poker players. "that guy was buying every pot, he has too big of a bankroll so he doesn't take the game seriously, etc."
the guy was a fool to turn down $600k the way he did. clearly he thought it was a great offer if he eventually accepted $400k.
yeah, cuban has a ton of money and doesnt need any of these deals, but if he lowballs a guy too much another shark will take it or the entrepreneur can get funding off the show.
bottom line...if you have a great idea and are very competent, you're getting funded. whether it's on shark tank or after the show, money will find the best opportunities.
