Somewhere in the event insurance contract (trust me, Monster didn't put up their own money), there undoubtedly exists a clause that references "coercion" or "undue influence" or "collusion" or "conspire to alter the outcome" that could throw this entire thing in the trash. I'd hate it for the fan, but you never know.
Also Eli was going to Win 1,1,2 or Eli was going to Win , 1,1,1 how can you fix the outcome of a race that the guy finished 1st either way ?

Not sure spending (risking) 400K to Insure 1MM would be worth it when it would be like having to pay out a dollar.
Now if the payout was 10 or 100 million, now the gamble might be worth it.
I see both sides of it, I just don't think there will be any change to the outcome over it.
And that is how the "mainstream" media is portraying Saturday night...
the guys taking the bets in Vegas do not look highly on the throwing of an event... If I was Tomac I would not spend a cent of that money quite yet...
From the article : https://autoweek.com/article/other-motorsports/questions-linger-eli-tom…
After the race someone asked Tomac how much of the million dollars he was going to give to Savatgy.
“No comment,” Tomac said without irony or facial expression.
But like I posted above, I cant see Monster insuring a million or even 2 million total.. Its like a normal person insuring 10 cents in comparison.
Its not like an underfunded race team insuring a championship bonus.

Anyways, it's over and done and I doubt Eli and drunk kid are gonna have any problem getting their money. Part of me thinks half that kid's money is already spent haha
Monster will go dig in their couch cushions and pay this off as fast as possible so that people will start talking about A1.
My point was, have you ever seen the crap that goes down when some fan at a basketball game hits a full court shot for $100k? “Oh wait, he played basketball in fifth grade and led the league in scoring, he’s ineligible “.
Post a reply to: Uh, yeah... Eli, Jessie... about that "Million"...
