Instead of betting on the horses, you will receive points for the horse you select placing 1st, 2nd or 3rd. A winning horse will gain 20 points, 2nd 10 points and 3rd 5 points. Now every once and a while, I will pick a particular race which will be worth double or triple points. Now the catch is: You start with 100 points and for every horse you select, you lose 10 points. So that means that if you pick five horses two weekends in a row and don't even back a place, you are out of the competiton. What are your thoughts?
