The difference in this situation is that these people in the bankroll challenge are essentially being gifted the money...so should they be grateful for anything they get, or bummed that they are only getting $1.63 each for the $100 win bet on Dehere Of The Cat?
How does this work? Does the money invested churn until the end of the meet? If not then I see your point.
