Let me 'chip' in here  - see what i did there? :-)

If we use LUG money it stops anyone from going really
really stupid and betting their car/house/wife/dog or whatever.  If
you've only got LUG money then you can only bet LUG money.  Plus,
everyone starts on an even playing field, with the same amount, and
at the end of the year you can trade your money back in for an appropriate
amount of the original pot.
