The whales are not "syndicates."

"Syndicate" implies a bunch of guys got together and pooled resources. Not true.

They are typically single owner corporations (although there may be partners who hold minor position), with a lot of employees. (The smallest is reputed to have 45 employees and the largest 175.)

There are 6 that I am aware of that wager upwards of $100m each.

Probably another 50-75 that wager between $25m and $100m, but that is shear guesswork on my part.
