15% of all possible combos not covered so a slight chance this could go yet another round, 2Billion pot? - Chateau du zeitgeist Jan 13, 17:29 6
- I had the same thought yesterday. there will be a $$ amount limit when people say fuck it and stop making as many pools or plunging hundreds each week -- nm - Peglegpete Jan 13, 17:31 5
  - you're so pretty -- nm - oblique Jan 13, 17:33 4
    - hundreds is out there, but that was my point re: if there's a limit, at least for the $20 range. - b. Jan 13, 17:39 3
      - At $2 a play, for ever person who plays $20 today and doesn't at $2B, 10 more people are just as likely to plop down the $2 who didn't before -- nm - oblique Jan 13, 17:41 2
        
        I just meant people who have been playing. :) - -- nm - b. Jan 13, 17:43 1
        
        I have 2 regular numbers I play year round, and plunge a bit when the pot gets hi -- nm - Peglegpete Jan 13, 17:45
