“But if you think about it from the perspective of an individual,” says lab director David Rand, “for each dollar that you contribute, it gets doubled to two dollars and then split four ways – which means each person only gets 50 cents back for the dollar they contributed.”
this logic is flawed?? if each person contributes $1, the pot is doubled from $4 to $8. $8 is then divided evenly 4 ways, resulting in each person receiving $2 each. This is a $1 return not $0.50
