You can jump in and out as often as you want... I've got a HUGE spreadsheet with everone listed week by week, race by race... if you miss a week, you just don't get any points/$$$. You won't lose money, only gain (unlike gambling in real life) so the more you play, the better your chance. I personally hate it when my losses eat away all my winnings so this game won't be like real life

You can only be in the positive in this game, you'll never dip into the negative. I found from watching and playing these contest threads that as people get deeper in the hole, they fade away and don't want to play anymore and soon it's only 4 people putting up their picks...

Let me know if anyone has any more questions...
