59 picks were made, so that's $354 in bets. We collected $280.80, for a net loss of -20.7% for the week.

Through the first 20 races of the contest:
# of picks: 1072
Amount bet: $6786
Amount collected: $5568.20
Overall % return: -17.9%

The top 10 contest leaders are showing a profit on their picks, as well as #18, Bigmsc, who didn't pick 4 of the races. Honorable mention goes to cboh11, who at $119.50 is just 50 cents short of breaking even. Overall, we're losing at a rate very close to the track take (with breakage).
