Bring cash to gamble!!!

Just so no one is expecting payouts like at the track or casino, here's an explanation of the gambling:

We'll have betting "windows" and an auction.
Betting windows: There will be three separate windows for Win(1st), Place(2nd), and Show(3rd). Tickets will be $2 each. For every ticket sold, $1 will go to LongRace4Tate, and $1 will go toward the pot. We will keep the pots separate for each window. The payout will be determined by the number of winning tickets sold for that window. Each window's pot will be split evenly among the number of tickets sold for the horse that won that window. So, if you place a bet for horse #7 to place, horse #7 places, and you're the only one who bet on that horse to place, you win the entire pot. But, if 10 tickets were sold for that same horse to place, the pot will be split 10 ways, and 1/10th of the pot will go to each winning ticket.
Auction: We'll auction off all of the horses. Each horse can be "bought" by only one person (or group of people if you want to pool your money). There will be one pot for the auction. If you "buy" a horse in the auction, you collect its winnings as follows:
1st place - 40% of the pot
2nd place - 20% of the pot
3rd place - 10% of the pot
4th place - 5% of the pot
(25% of the pot will go to LongRace4Tate)
