Just to be clear though - there should not be any advantage for more well off players. Everyone starts with the same $100 bankroll and you cannot add to it any other way than by winning. I think it's the unlimited play that gives the contest its appeal, since, yes, you can amass a greater bankroll and improve your chance of winning a cash prize, but that comes at the expense of increased risk - as it always does with gambling.

Borgata's format is live bankroll and limited bullets. I've never seen the opposite: fictitious bankroll and unlimited play, but I would try it.

I donot agree, if you are of limited means, and money is more dear to you and are going up in a contest to players very well capitalized, millionaires or such, the money wagered by them may be insignificant to them.
for instance when the p6 at gulfstream was taken down by Dan Borislew RIP who alled 5 of 6 races. Sure it is different than the contest but the advantage of throwing money without giving it much thought or feeling seems similar to me. No ???
