Tiger,
One more thing to ponder. If you were to hit one of these consolation
trifectas you would have to assume that you did not break the
bank. If there were only five or six patrons wagering all of their
alloted money every game and you hit your consolation in game
one you may just have wiped out the tri pool for the remainder
of the perfornace. The reason why there may be money in the tri
pool later in the performance is because everyone had their money
returned to them eariler. I think you would have to have another
study on how large the pools are after one or more trifectas or
consolations are hit during the same performance to see if you
theory is plausible.
