There are a couple of problems I can think of with big outlays that will bring you undone:

1. If the divvy is small (say $200 - which it has been plenty of times).
2. You don't win at all.

Just 3 outlays from your example losing or winning very small divvy's will wipe away those profits.

As LG I think was getting at on the other thread - you need as small an outlay as possible. Even my attempts at $625 outlays (5x5x5x5) was too high I reckon.

Just some food for thought.
