Yes- because the pool size will struggle to reach 5 digits. If his comments add $2,000 to the field, let's say there was $10K in the pool before that and the field was exactly at the morning line 8-1 at the post (so $930 on the field), there's now $12K in the pool and the new price is 5/2. Make sense now?
