You could sit there and do that for a few minutes and have $100,000 in tournament money. So wins paid 5000:1, pushes paid 2500:1 and if you lost you only lost 1 chip.
If you clicked a 1 dollar chip and placed a bet for 1 dollar, let it register, then switch to a $100 or $500 chip and click several times very fast and hit deal before those chips registered, it would act as if you had bet that amount (usually around $2500) but it would only deduct 1 chip from your balance.
