1. Will it break 100K
2. Will it be more than the Early P5

My vote is 1) Yes 2) No

If this was open to all I would say this could do 750K today.

So on Day 3, you think it "should be as good as it ever is going to be?" Really? Would you bet on that being true?

Unlike a couple other people in this conversation, you're a bright guy, and you bet, and likely look to beat favorites if the opportunity presents itself. Why aren't you applying the same logic here? Do you think the people behind this decision didn't understand that the bet would handle a fraction of what it could handle? Have you considered all the reasons this might be being done?

It's a complex discussion. Most are. Simply whittling it down to "it would be handling much more the other way" can't be the best way to look at it. Just as looking at any race and saying "the favorite's got this one" is probably a bad idea.
