What I'm suggesting (and could easily be misunderstanding) is that since they were the ones creating all the late odds changes to begin with, there's not necessarily a huge difference to them if they bet at 2 minutes to post or in the last seconds. If they throw a ton of money in at 2 minutes, there probably won't be any large odd changes they have to worry about after they are done. Maybe at the margin they would lose a tick here or there, but nothing huge enough to totally abandon the pool. Maybe they'd have to make a small adjustment. Granted, I'm talking intuitively and never actually tested anything, but if I was in there position I think I'd still be betting WIN at 2 minutes, just with some tighter rules.
