I recently played 5$ Mystery Bounty on GGPoker, it had over 200k runners, but for simplicity lets say it was exactly 200k. For Day-2 there was (rounded down) 10k players with 10k starting stack and the Bounty GTD was 500k, which makes the average Bounty 50$ which is 10 times the buy-in, would that mean the average bounty is 100k in chips?
I used this method and I also re-calculated it on the breaks and at one point the average bounty was around 110$ because the 67k$ bounty stayed quite long!
I knocked out 2 players in top 800 when the 67k bounty was still up, that means I had 2 times 1-in-800 chances of winning 67k! That's pretty wild!

These tournaments are a goldmine atm, because people vastly overestimate the value of going for a bounty and will risk most or almost all their chips with any two cards in the hope they can suck out on another player who assuredly has a big ace or middling pair in the hopes they can luck out in that 1 in 50-100 chance of hitting the jackpot bounty.
