They may be hard to hit, but the possibility of a huge pay out for a small sum is too much for many, including many of us. Deep down we know we won't hit a pick six but we play them anyway.
The pick six brings the big and small bettors together.
We have known what is called a jackpot and scoop six (which is the same bet as the pick six over here), and regularly they roll over to becomes £ million pools.
I'm with you, jim..... surely these bets can do no harm to racing. It brings in excitement and possibly brings in people who would not usually bet before. Small stakes for possible huge returns.
