Yup. I guess one could also look at it like, if the average daily input to pool decreases by 70% due to lack of interest/interest elsewhere, the probability of covering the sequence with one ticket might actually increase as there are fewer people playing it...If nothing else, it's a fascination study.

I tend to agree with you here. Most of us are waiting for the final day and the lack of interest will mean less tickets in the pool. I would predict it doesn't make it to the final day.

I think it is a certainty that it carry's to last day. Plenty of reasons:

1) the bet is not a rip off in its current context
2) Smaller fields daily from now on
3) Bigger players will make sure they have supreme coverage to assure carries

4.) only 27 racing days left until the mandatory payout

with 4.6 million in the pool right now if they were to average 150 k carryover daily which seems possible the pool would reach 8.6 million on closing day. At least 4 million more so the pool should be at around 13 million give or take a million.
