Short answer: absolutely not.
TL;DR: no, because the CRW only makes a bet when it calculates an inefficiency in the tote odds. In other words, it calculates what the odds of each bet "should" be, given the other information available on the tote board. When it finds a bet that is overlaid, it bets. So, if there are nothing but CRW's in the pool, then they all sit there staring at each other and the 0's on the board. If there were some catalyst (i.e. if the pools were seeded with some money, or if possibly even a single bet were made), then they may go to war with each other, depending on those at the controls. But, without a match, no fire.
