It is a rare Pick 5 that pulls that type of number and I can certainly not get that this time of the year. 7 out of 12 days the Pick 6 conso has paid more than 10 k of those 7 5 have paid more than 25 K. Now for the equalizer.... 5 of 12 days have paid less than 3 K and 2 less then 410.

I am hunting for a 5 figure score. A $500 ticket can get some incredible coverage especially if you narrow a couple legs to 2 or 3. The beauty of this is that at .20 the amount of coverage I can get makes it EXTREMELY risky for a big syndicate. Say they are coming in with 20 K... They would have lost money half the time.... Even on closing day..... A couple favorites and they will be underwater... I love this but my line in the sand is 2 million to get involved other than that I won't touch....

Nice.. There's no arguing the stratagem and even the takeout quotient is neutralized with all the extraneous coverage at this juncture.

I completely understood going after the consos as explained by Chet 2 years ago, Paul Matties and you, et al.. The debatable question out there is whether this concept is good for the sport and players in general. Based on some of the info involved that you're providing, maybe it can be said it's OK for certain sized players at certain times in it's cycle. Overall?
