If you look at the current leaderboard, it's very easy to catch up with them, but I'm very confident that everything will change when time runs out. Just like in the past, I saw a $20 bet on dice, and it was very quickly done. Even though in the last contest I won $60, I spent $50 on it. I can't imagine not getting anything.
1st and 2nd place are out of the question, but 3rd place and below are still possible to get something if the leaderboard doesn't get too heated.
Are you still interested in participating?
If not, I'm very happy because the competition isn't tight

the competition isn't tight yet*
there are still ~3 days left, and i bet some are gonna wait until the last few hours and then wager like crazy.
