I spent typically between $250-$300 per card playing pick 4's and 5's. I started toying around with the Grand Slam bet during the Belmont meet, playing it for $20 and going 1x1x1x2 with the occasional use of 2 in one of the 1st 3 legs. I'm talking about a $40 or $80 play. I found myself alive to more $1000+ hits than in months worth of pick 4's. Hitting 4 figure pick 4's for $60 is not common but yet with this bet I found myself alive to them a lot. I didn't cash any of them in the final leg but I knew that none of them were bombs and, in fact, twice I had favorites. This got me thinking...
