Sound like fun. I like the idea of a certain amount of bets, with player discretion on when they can use them. This helps the players who don't get the PP's everyday.

i'd suggest capping the payoff on any one bet.

everyone will be stabbing at longshots all meet long regardless. but at least they'd think 2x about a 35-1 shot if they know they only get 20-1 in the contest. plus it eliminates jackasses like me that would be betting 70-1 shots the entire last week trying to catch up.

I don't like the capping idea. You only get 36 stabs for the entire meet, if you get a bomb home, you should be rewarded. just my take, and i do cap my letters sometimes.
