This means a couple different things

1) $360 comes to one $10 bet per day
2) Someone can miss a couple days and it really wouldn't matter
3) Someone can't hit a 20/1 on the first day or two and not coast, they would still have to produce, albeit they would have a nice lead
4) You would even do it based on say $300, which means people can miss 6 days and not miss an opportunity. And if you play all 36 days, you still get your ROI calculated off of $300 (thus 6 bonus bets)

So essentially what I am saying is that everyone starts at $-300 and they have to build their way up from that, making one $10 bet per day.

So if you use $300 as a fixed amount, in 36 days if someone has a total of $600 collected, they would have a 100% ROI ((600-300)/300)

$1 at full track odds and the other $9 capped at 20-1.

that's how a real contest is run.
