Default Nice touch by Gulfstream
Updating how many live Pick 6 tickets there are after each race. Takes a little bit of the guesswork out of figuring out if there'll be a carryover.

No reason all tracks can't do that. The wager is closed, so disclose what is happening throughout.

Kudos to GP.

How long before NYRA has this technology?

Ideally I'd like to see them be able to handle $.50 Pick 4s first.

You can tell after the eighth race by watching the will pays.

Right, and Gulfstream gives you an idea after every race as to what probability there is of a carryover. Can you see why that's not the same thing?

I see no reason they cant give you the live tickets in pk3s and pk4s too. Just a little more trouble to keep the bettors informed and you know they are really concerned about the patrons that pay the bills. I know that this service want change the potential payout but it could help me structuring my other rolling pk3s.

Knowing how many people were alive after leg one of a pick 3 would be pretty useless.

useless in terms of customer convenience.

Far more valuable in terms of research.

Whether or not you may think its useless, NYRA and all other tracks too have no reason not to extend this sort of service to its customer. Its 2010, we have this technology available to us. Its not rocket science, its the age we now live in. I would find this information a lot more valuable and interesting than what I see coming from NYRA on Twitter.

Let's see...

The whole concept materialized approximately 17 hours ago and every track should have adopted it by now? Got it.

And the number of people alive in the P6 is more valuable information than Andy Serling delivering winners into your hand wherever you are with plenty of time to get bets in? Got it.

Do you really think NYRA doesn't want to make the existing customers experience better? Don't you think they want their product as good as it can possibly be? Seriously, IF they had money they would improve a lot of things. The issue is money, they don't have any! and are still playing Ping Pong with OTB, The State etc etc. IF things ever get sorted out and IF they get the model to work. I would bet on the current NYRA team to make it's racing the best in the sport.. I am sure they would love Trakus, HD, better betting Tech, I figure they would love to make the grounds (Belmont/Aqueduct) more fan friendly. It's just a simple matter of finding a financial platform that isnt on such crappy ground and all your wishes will come true. IMO

Not even the point..The point is if it costs money NYRA can't do it. The shame is the people are finally in place that care enough to make the racing great. NYRA has decent purses and fairly good racing especially considering trouble they are in.

I'm pretty sure Andy would be embarrassed by that comment.

this is kind of a branch off of the original post, but am i the only one who purposefully doesn't look at will pays?? i always felt like they would be a jinx to know what i would have won.

Wow, if you read my post I said NYRA on Twitter, not Serling on Twitter.

Go to the NYRA web site. The two are entirely different sites. I was speaking about the Twitter-NYRANews, not the Twitter-Serling.

And I was expressing an opinion that I would find it far more valuable to know up to the minute pick 6 information rather than news that you can easily get on the website that most bettors already know anyways.

I also think you guys are overestimating how much software like this would cost.

Sorry for having an opinion.

It wouldn't cost NYRA a nickel to allow .50 pic-4s on its own races or to allow NYRA Rewards players to make fractional wagers on simulcast tracks (such as Gulfstream, Keeneland, FG, etc.) where such denominations are permitted.
