if no input or an invalid input is entered, game currently moves onto next players turn instead of giving current player another chance. Should be fixed by moving the next_player() call to the end of each possible move method. That way cycling through the turn loop again after bad input starts over but doesn't change players.

function to place a tile expects an int input. Just need to make sure we're handling inputs when asking for the spot so that only ints are accepted.

For example if you try to bet on a racer that doesn't exist, if you try to place a bet on a racer with no bets left to take, or you make a prediction on a racer you've already predicted (no longer in your player.predictions list).

The warning will come up and the turn loop will restart successfully. But as soon as you submit your first response the second time around, the first input is passed to the corresponding methods which throws an error.

I'm pretty sure it has something to do with variable scope/lifecycle/recursion messiness as I'm re-calling the leg() function from inside itself. But I just can't figure out what exactly is going on. I've tried to brute force it by instantiating all variables that get passed as empty first. Hoping that the second time through the leg() function it'll clear out any previously set bad inputs. No luck.
