That said, you're logic still seems correct. You never want to lose money... you want to make an investment. Wise investments are based on a clearly understood circumstances. Gambling is the opposite. Hey Ashlee-Jean- I still think getting paid $0 can be worth it in the right circumstances. That said, you’re logic still seems correct.

I like your idea of the "Formula" it works well, now that I am applying it towards some shows I am trying to decide on. But then you run into shows w/ a 0 ( For example - SXSW) We are not showcased at SXSW (we were last year) but we were invited to play a couple parties. Exposure could be a 2 or a 3, depending if we are playing the right party. So lets be safe and say a 2. The money is a 0. So 2x0=0...add in traveling cost to austin and you get about a -2. Not worth it. Great idea! The topic I was pondering on!
