How about this for an idea. It's simple and easy, just needs someone to run it.

Saturday's and pubic holidays, select between 1 and 10 horses, anywhere that NSW tab is betting on except New Zealand (anywhere in Australia that NSW tab is betting on), you get a theoretical $1 on each, for the win. Bet wins, your score goes up by the dividend, bet loses, your score goes down by $1.

There. It's simple, and it's easy, and it has a number of advantages.

1 - You can pick faves or roughies.
2 - The comp doesn't go skewiff is someone bags too big a winner, because you get ten selections if you should want that many to catch them up again.
3 - There's no disadvantage to only picking say 1 horse, because a losing bet registers as a -$1 anyway.
4 - Versatility as to which races you target, completely up to you.
5 - If you have to miss a meeting, it's OK as you're score just remains the same, and as scores aren't constantly increasing then remaining the same is OK. (Though a rule may be needed that only once a month can you skip a meeting).
