It's a betting game and honestly the odds are better than lotto or such. Plus, all the novice money in the pools is good for experienced bettors.

Definitely. Can they market it by pointing out what the takeout is in a Pick Six pool as opposed to the lottery? I could see that causing them to butt heads with the lottery but really if they could point out that a higher percentage of the Pick Six pool goes back to the bettors than the lottery does it would encourage players to play quick Pick 6s instead. I suppose the only problem would be for the normal horseplayers if in what would normally be an obvious carryover situation someone scooped the pot on a quick pick.
