Can't help but think if both of these guys get action from people not in the top 10 of the Power Rankings, they'd consider it a huge win.

Much of poker over the years has been bum hunters and nit bags taking advantage of degens and people who really can't play poker.
Nick Frame got a $100k downer while not even being really able to say "I was a good favorite to make some $ there, I just ran under expectation". Let's seriously hope that been great about the prop bet and entertaining all of us pays off well for him. The challenge was a good thing because it was rare and cool. If there are actually benefits to both parties from having done it, that when you'll see more.
Don't really get NVG's attitude about poker. Do you guys give huge kudos to real estate investors who over-pay for lousy properties? OK, ones not named Donald Trump. Advantage gambling is simple, you find spots where you have the best of it. Then you do that as often as you can. How does the term bum hunter even exist? You are either an advantage gambler trying to win or a fun player, willing to pay for entertainment. Poker over the years? You're taking the whole reason advantage gambling is possible, and then declaring it to be of low character.
