These were the three possible outcomes that could have reasonably occurred today:

If C won

Great, pack it up because we just won the jackpot.

If A < C < B (which was the most likely, and happened)

In this case, I would have only been gambling 10 points per drone (780 total) for the chance of C taking the entire jackpot.

780 points is nothing in the grand scheme of things, and it's a gamble I was willing to take on day 8.

If B < A < C (which was extremely unlikely)

In this case, I would have been gambling 5 points per drone (390 total) for the chance of C taking neutral over A. Again, 390 points is nothing in the grand scheme of things, and that's a gamble I'm again willing to take.
