1st off ,i love this new addiction to the program ,very informative
so following this it looks like it will cost a player 93 dollars total
theres a few negitives that i can see, [and when i say negitives] i dont mean from nicks or yours standpoint
i mean just by the way ive seen the game change since pk 5 and 4 have been introduced to the game
in my opinion
the pick 3 is not even secondary to the game anymore
with the pk 4 and esp. the pick 5
it has [again] in my opinion ]stolen the pools from the pick 3
to where the value has been lost in playing the play
again
it has nothing to do with nick or you
what i think your doing is going week to week and introducing a new format of playing a individual play [which i love the concept]
and the second thing i noticed was[ and i could be wrong here]
it looks like you cannot win on multiple tickets
only one of these can hit
with the value of the pool decreasing because of pk 4 and 5,s
in my opinion ,you will need a heavy longshot to be included in the sequence to make any money
never the less im on board and investing the 93
i think its a great tool and something each week to look forward too
and of course ,if im wrong in my opinions ,,please tell me,,as i have no clue if the pk 3 pools have decreased, its just a feeling i have
im adding the 9 horse in the 9th,on everyticket so my play will be a little more
good luck everyone
i live in a small town called waterford ny just outside albany and we are supposed to get hit with close to 2 feet of snow today,
hope i can find the mailbox by next week

Yes to $93, but Nick is dropping the "A's with 2 B's" option, so it's $80 total.

And of course people can adjust to their budget by playing the All A's for less than $5, the A/B's for $1 or .50, etc.

Let's look at this ticket structure considering just the opening leg. The only horse that was tossed was War Bride, 30-1 on the morning line. After scratches, the tickets will cover, at varying levels, all of the other four horses still to run.

So, if you think that ~4% of the total pool will include War Bride (30-1) in the opening leg, doesn't this mean that the tickets are creating a significanty more negative return than just the takeout? (Translation : You are playing to cover 96% of the remaining pool with a 15-20% takeout. Shouldn't you try to eliminate at least 15-20% of the opening leg's pool money in your "X" selections?)
