Ok then, and thanks before I forget it, how come the “Rest of Field” fell straight down through the middle of the danged chart like someone falling through their own sphincter??? Huh??? (grin)
Had "Fred Thompson" not been split out as a separate selection, anyone who had bought a $1 share of "Republican Rest of Field" would have won $1 had Fred Thompson been nominated, and also would have won $1 if the nomination had gone to someone else not listed. When the "Fred Thompson" option was added, every share of "Republican Rest Of Field" was replaced by two shares: one of "Fred Thompson", and one of "Republican Rest Of Field (other than Fred Thompson)". Under any circumstances where an earlier "Rest of Field" share would pay $1, one of the latter shares would pay $1 (and the other would be worthless).
