Pick 6 - Good or Bad for racing?

[ArlJim78]

I found this article and the author seems to think that pick six mania is not a good thing. Mainly because its hard to hit, and there are few winners. (duh)
He acknowledges that it builds excitment and draws people out, but argues that since they are more likely to lose their bankroll, they won't be able to come back and play tomorrow.

I disagree with him and think that people are able to figure out that if they have only a $100 or $200 bankroll that the pk6 is not something wise to persue.

also the part where he states that he feels he is one of the best handicappers in the country was a turnoff. whether he is or not, I don't know, but i think its mighty pompous to drop in that line.

any thoughts? In my opinion anything that brings people out and generates news and excitement in wagering is a good thing for the game.
