You're absolutely clueless. You clearly don't 'do this for real', because if you did, you would know how rare it is to get a multi-race wager to pay 6+ times the parlay. That's once or twice a year value. Stop obsessing over how much people put into it and try to understand why today was a must-play and only morons chased it in prior days.

Herk, you suck. Why didn't you have it 20 times today?

I did. The tickets I posted were merely decoys.

[golfer]

Was alive to 6 horses in the last leg on a $144 ticket. They finished 2nd,3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th and 11th.

i had to split it...i guess you did not read what i said....i partnered up today...because i knew it was going to pay squat...plus i lost 600 hundred yesterday.....so big deal...we picked six and made 1600...i could lose that by friday. i guess thats what people aspire to do split a losy ticket after it was the hype of the century....i bet all the time i could care less about what a parley pays...the pics are always a pool and its all about the money vs. the reward....i would not be surprised if someone did have it 20 times...i don't waste my time to pic 6 and not win something good.

If you have all this dough, you could have punched it for a typical $2 pick 6 ticket and had it 20 times for $65k. The dime wager allows more players to play and in this case, avoid IRS withholding. This is a good thing. Is $65k not good enough?

And if you don't care how much it pays relative to the parlay, you don't understand multirace wagers.

Handle was up $13 million (81%) over the same day last year.

Gulfstream absolutely crushed it this year. Handle up something like $50 million from last year. You missed a word though- it was up TO $13 million (an 81% increase from last year when it was $7.25MM.)

Then you're doing it wrong. The very idea of the multirace wager is to get paid more than the individual win prices would've given you, genius. Do you have absolutely no concept of value? Because your idea of it is apparently pissing away money chasing a nearly imaginary jackpot at 50 percent takeout, rather than hitting a pick six against nearly zero takeout that paid almost six times the parlay and three or four times what it would've paid on a regular day.

You can't be this dumb.

The great irony, of course, is that the very reason it was such a great play today is that some people were foolish enough to continue pouring money into it in prior days.

Exactly.

I just heard the Players Pool had $0.20 on it. They lost 96,800 dollars on the play.

Hilarious...

I mean, hindsight is easy, but wouldn't you have had relatively logical combos 20-30x if you were structuring their tickets?

Well, I had $1,000 from Capital OTB and was alive to the 1,6,9,12 in the nightcap for 10 cents apiece. Hardly a good showing on my part but I had a very negative view of Notonthesamepage and really liked the 12 in that race, so it was difficult. I had Notonthesamepage and the 12th race winner as Cs.

The thing about throwing 100k at this was that yeah, your main ticket had to be played for basically $15-$20. This was a sequence where you could do that but would you have had Rachel's Girl in it?

Throwing 100k out there was just silly.

I agree. $100k was just too much money to manage in that pool.

Until we see the tickets we won't know for sure, but doesn't it seem like they tried too hard to get impossible horses on the tickets (likely for "advertising" purposes)? Without focusing on more likely scenarios? Even if they had a negative view on one of the horses in the first five legs, I don't see how they shouldn't have been alive for at least a buck or two.

they lost about 94,500 but who's counting? Certainly not twinspires, they were already winners.

Congrats, Seth!! Great job!
