Why must the P6 be a $2 wager?

You need to invest $500, minimum, to REALLY play the pick 6.

But is this wise...unless you feel like you can REALLY win?


I mean there must be a lot of people who REALLY play the pick 6 yet there are still many carryover days.



I think a lot of big betters are REALLY losing a lot.

You want to win big ? Bet big.

Let's not get crazy. I'm still coming to terms with $5 beers at the track.

No question... somebody has to supply the money for these carryovers, and it isn't the $100 p6 players. The thing is, the big bettors might lose a LOT 10 times in a row, then hit the 11th time for a huge number. The small player is more likely to lose 100 times in a row and not hit at all.

Yeah I remember that. What exactly was the point of $5 exacta minimums? And what happened to the handle after they did away with that? It went much higher.

I understand why Steven Crist advocates a $2 minimum for the pick 6, but then I don't understand why he bemoans " a lack of new wagering products"(DRF-7/1) as a reason for declining handle and attendance. What better way to stimulate new growth than $1 pik-sixes,10 cent supers, 50 cent pick 4's and 5's. Hell, NYRA doesn't even offer a pick 3 that culminates with the feature race. You have to bet a pick 4 that culminates with a NYB race 90% of the time. It all goes back to the fact that racing caters to the "whales" and ignores the average bettor. You can't have it both ways!

Calling me names will not convince me to lend you a buck so you can play the Pick 6.
