Right. If $30M of the $50M WPS mutual was in the win pool (just estimating), then there was $25M after takeout. A 50-1 shot would have $500K bet on it. It would take another $500K to move it to 25-1. Betting half a million on a long shot is crazy even by owners' standards.
I think both Storm In May and Imawildandcrazyguy may have been bet down primarily because of their names!
