The idea of this section is simple.
You start ONE thread with 1000 points/pounds. Before a race starts you put up your selections and update you bank balance after the sporting event has completed. When the 1000 points/pounds. has been used up. you may start another thread and try again.
For fun I propose that the people/persons that reach 5000 points/pounds get added to a role of honour which will consist of final amount and number of bets it took.
