Fishy Pick Six doings at DMR

ateamstupid · #1 07-20-2007, 02:54 PM

Yesterday's Pick Six featured a $133.80 winner, an $18 winner, a $6 winner, a $31.60 winner, an $11 winner and a $5.80 winner. A win parlay with those six winners would have paid $910,411, yet the Pick Six pool was just $198,417, AND IT WAS STILL HIT by one ticket.

Not impossible, but according to Brad Free, that lone winning ticket had the first four winners ($133.80, $18, $6, $31.60) all SINGLED. Weird.

WOW! That is insane. Does anyone know how the rest of the ticket was structured?

Not sure.

I know the Breeders Cup Fix 6 winning ticket consisted of four straight singles, followed by two ALL-ALL's.

I think it's pretty amusing that someone singled a 65/1 shot in leg one of pick six!...if this is true.

If you have DRF Plus, you can check it out on Free's Daily Plays for today. I can't post it.

Four horses in the seventh and two horses in the eighth. Not exactly like the BC structure, but perhaps that was done by design.

Ateam - certainly does raise some eyebrows. Maybe the person(s) who singled the horse in Leg A had a connection to the horse so they had to single him. It was just a $16 ticket. Either good handicapping or luck or both.

I've played this game for the better half of my life and I've never heard of someone singling a 60-1 shot and having it win, much less, having it be one of four straight singles and then hitting the pick 6.

I would like to know the percentages of that happening. Virtually impossible for me to believe.

If that explains the 65/1 shot he singled, he still needed to connect with three more singles in the next three races....a proposition that was offering 426/1 odds on a parlay.

But yeah, just the concept of singling a 65/1 shot in leg 1 of a P6 is virtually unheard of.

That horse (the 65/1 shot) was out of the 1st race of the pick six sequence on the huge carryover day at Hollywood. Exhale!!! He didn't run horrible and shouldn't have been 65/1. But, I agree someone got lucky here.

If this were like the original scam, it means they knew the winners of the first four legs when the tickets were punched. The mistake the idiots the first time made was in the structure. If they had included some losers in the first few legs, nobody would have noticed.

I can't believe someone would try the same thing and make the same stupid mistake.
