But is it really much of a mistake? If Scott had bet $2,601, he'd take home $16,001 and come back on Monday to play against two new opponents. Since he bet $2,600, he takes home $16,000 and comes back on Monday to play against the same two opponents again. Not much difference from his standpoint. Scott didn't really lose anything except being able to say he won.
Hm, so, if the other two players take a cue from the "winner" and start playing to tie rather than win, they could have a pretty nice racket going and make a lot of headlines in the process.
