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.
