Yeah, thanks Phipsy. I've thought about doing something like that. At the moment, I guess what we really have is a 'betting' comp instead of a 'tipping' comp, so I think we could certainly change things a bit in 2005.

While there's plenty of merit in your idea, I wouldn't want to get rid of the betting side of things altogether. I mean, if someone's good enough to tip a $30 winner, they should still be rewarded in some way, even if they don't tip any other winners all day. So this is what I think we could do. I think we could run two comps side by side, one to find the most consistent tipster and the other to find the most profitable.

I'll certainly be looking at this idea over the next few weeks.
