And you do, it's just not directly visible as you accrued the profit over the season and the next one.
Maybe not in every case because 4th vs 5th the difference is very small sometimes. In my case I lost on purpose the last two games (only one at home). So I do not think that I lost a lot on this last home game. Even if I lost 50 000 (which is a lot) on this game, I play two playdowns games instead of one playoff game so at least 100 000 more for me. Overall I won 50 000 more by losing so in this case, I think losing is better than winning (and I am pretty sure my number is too low).

About the risks of play-downs I am pretty sure the tie-breaker goes for the 5th seed over the 7th seed.

What would be a fair prize money ? If the goal is to compensate that potentially missed half revenue PO game, in D2 for example, that would be something like $150.000. Do you give a prize money for reaching PO, so the same for #1 and #4 team, or do you give even more than $150k to #1 #2 #3 as they were better ranked and deserved higher prize money ? Which will be a lot of money.
Ok maybe there is no good solution but let me reverse the question.

Is it normal that a team with a better record win less profit due to less game played ?

This team with a better record has a chance to play 5 games. :P

The revenue lost are also happening the season after and through merchandising.

In the end, my main point is we shouldn't reward too much the teams finishing first or second compared to the ones finishing 5/6th or that would increase the gap for the next season. However, if you reward the #4, you do have to reward those that had a better finish. If someone think it's better for his team to finish 5th, he can try for it, I feel it's still better and, in a non totally realistic way, some strategy.
I understand but with more money and a better ranking for the draft the 5th seed is very tempting.
