Good luck!

I must be missing the boat. Please explain how the full (ABC) pick 5 ticket cost only $76. I come up with 3x5x5x5x6. Where am I going wrong? Thanks in advance.

Fantastic hit(s)

That would be an all "A" ticket.

To play an ABC ticket, You assign your "best shots" an A designation, your 2nd tier possibles a B designation, and your logical long shots a C designation.

So, for example in this particular P5 sequence, you then parse your plays so that all A's, three A's and two B's, or four A's and one C's gets you home.

It is based on Steve Christ's Exotic wagering scheme.

My unsolicited opinion - I've hit a bunch of P5/P6's and I personally find it complete hokum. That's not to say that it doesn't work, but it has never worked for me.

I find it best to have a strong opinion and go with your gut, and if you can't cover the bet with your gut, play shorter horizontals. Nothing at all wrong with begging off a P5 when you feel you need to go 4 deep in the first leg, and playing the P4 for example.

:tro::tro::$::$: Way to go Steve!

Gains more coverage that simple 'caveman' tickets..
