So a pick 6 ticket with one horse in each race is only $2 or is it $2 a horse? Sorry if I sound stupid. I have never played this before, but I may as well take a shot. OH I am going to drive my hubby crazy tonight. I am good with numbers though (as long as I am not drinking).

IN OTHERWORDS, DON'T ANYONE PLAY MY PICKS! I want to learn how to do it though. This is a fun contest to learn with.

$2 for the whole ticket. It is 1X1X1X1X1X1 * $2 which is still only $2. The goal here is to structure a ticket between $2000 and $2500 so you need to go fairly deep in a few races.

OK, I will give it a shot! Thanks sniper. I think I get it now. Hee hee. Lets see if my gut tells me anything tonight.

Buffy- See if you can find somebody to go in on a ticket with you. Each of you pick 1 horse in each race and then compare notes. If every race your opinions vary and you want to use 2 horses per race, your ticket would cost $128... 2x2x2x2x2x2 x $2 = $128.

If you can come up with even 1 single your ticket would be reduced to $64...
2x2x2x2x2x1 x $2 = $64

2 singles makes it very affordable....2x2x2x2x1x1 x $2 = $32

3 singles? 2x2x2x1x1x1 x $2 = $16

I thought about it but have no confidence in myself right now. Just going to do the contest. I am more than likely going to majorly suck at this so I am not going to put real money in on it. Horse had to be put on hold, saving to get a new car now. Mine is nine years old and is only going to last me MAYBE another year. Car this year, horse next year.

Don't worry, we can majorly suck at this together!
It would have cost me like $25,000 to include all of the horses I thought I had a chance...it doesn't get worse than that....so basically I just entered to make everyone feel a lot better about themselves.

There are other wager calculators out there, but here's a free and easy one.
