Common sense says
ALL 12 PP will fill.
a. $1M x 12 investors is CHUMP CHANGE to each of them
b. they do no worse than lose $750K according to
"...the winner would get $7 million, with $1.75 million for second, $1 million for third, and $250,000 for the fourth- through last-place finishers."
c. say CC, Arrogator, & three more top choices are committed,
why in world would 7 remaining slot owners
NOT make deals with longshots???!!!
Height of Hypocrisy =
longshot bettors ridiculing PWC longshots before they are known!!!!!
longshot bettors predicting PWC has no chance of success!!!!!
This article claims many possible contenders:

Besides, in 2017 & beyond, tweaking the payout spread will GUARANTEE continuation of PWC,
e.g., $5M win, $2M place, $1.5M show, $500K fourth, $333K the rest...?
