This is a great idea.

I'm not going to play the pick 6 wednesday but i'll definitely cap it and participate. This is the kind of contest that would be outstanding on a Saturday. Are there plans for another contest on a weekend carryover?

A weekend carryover would be fine as well.

To me, you have to try to win to learn HOW to win, and little is to be learned from making small Pick-6 tickets. By increasing the size of the play to where one has a realistic chance to hit the player is forced to learn how to make the correct choices which can be the difference between winning and losing.

The multiple ticket approach is the best plan, IMO, as no player should want to weigh EVERY horse they use the same.....especially as you start spending more money.

I definately need to pay attention closely to this discussion. I have no clue how to structure pick 6 tickets.

TRAINERS PROBABLY HAVE TO SINGLE THEIR HORSES ON A PICK 6 TICKET.Must be silent partners on a lot of friend's tickets.

Boy, talk about an exercise in futility trying to pick winners outta that group. Although I think there are a couple of fairly solid singles in race 4 and race 6. But, other than that, I came up with 4 in leg 1, 5 in leg 3, and 3 in the last 2 legs.

That's a starting point I suppose. I don't have any big money to throw at it, so I'll play in the contest just to have a little fun.

I am with you JMAN. This is what a pick 6 should be. This is extremely difficult.

Scuds, that is only in California. If you are associated with a horse in that race (owner/trainer) you have to single on top. This is third hand knowledge from Frank Lyons

Us poor people should treat the pick 6 like a lottery. Spend no more than $8 on a ticket just in case your handicapping is absolutely on fire for 6 races in a row. Any more than that and you may as well flush your money down the toilet.

Or find someone with deep pockets and have them back you.

Just pick six random numbers and play it like the lottery. It is a way better deal.

Or you should just PM Bellsendboy -- he's going to take down the whole thing tomorrow on a $64 ticket, I would imagine.

No. $64 is for a tough Pk4 ticket. He'll have to spend at least $100 to take down this P6.
