Mhan, this is crazy as fuck!! How in the world is 412 people wagering on a particular game channel with a $659,189 entry fee?? Sheesss!! Gambling is actually not for the broke ones...
Well, I'm one of them, and I only bet $10. I think it's for one of two reasons: either MW offered a starting pot before anyone had even bought a ticket (you have to think they have a huge user base and handle a lot of money) or we have some whales that have bought in the hundreds of thousands. Or maybe a mixture of both.
