If the pool is $10,000 (2 pots of $5,000), and 5 have the longer shot and 20 the shorter price, the 5 tickets should get back $1,000 while the 20 tix should get $250 each. But making the 5 people with a clever opinion get the one-price-fits-all payoff of $400 (25 tix into $10,000) is indeed not right.

I agree completely Steve. Crist is right since that is how the place and show pools are computed in the first place, so the precedent and logic is there.
