Now, as making them all Bs would quadruple the cost of your play, this is unlikely to be an option. So, they would most likely be Cs. And since you claim to have a strong opinion on one horse perhaps that horse is your best single. However, it's also a function of what you are investing, as if you had the As and Bs down to two 2s and 3 3s then using all three as Bs makes your main ticket $864 and if this fits into your bankroll it may be how you want to play. However, perhaps you would be happier adding one horse to three of the other races, and using only the A in the leg we are discussing. It's a question of relative importance as it relates to bankroll.
Thanks, this really is a very enjoyable contest you and Steve are putting together. While I don't have the sort of bankroll to play Pick 6's, it really is forcing me to pay more attention to betting structure and will hopefully carry over to the sort of bets I am making.
