What changes could we make to "The Bet" to make the story more interesting?

While "The Bet" is a great story with a twist ending, there are some changes that could be made to make it even more interesting. Here are a few:

1. Before reading the letter, the banker carries out his original plan and murders the lawyer while he sleeps. As predicted, once the body is discovered, suspicion falls on the watchmen, leaving the banker to get away with murder.


2. After spending fifteen years in solitary confinement, the lawyer is desperate for freedom but does not leave until the bet is officially over. He takes the money and becomes richer than ever while the banker is made bankrupt.


3. The lawyer is so desperate for freedom that he does not complete the fifteen years in solitary confinement. He escapes and is never seen or heard of again, leaving the banker to enjoy what is left of his fortune.
