This in my opinion is simple mathematics. Those who chase the Pick 6 are players on another level from the majority of us. They don't roll with a couple $20's on a Saturday alright. They are cats who have bills to burn and they are not worried about what they are gonna do if the lose on their $900 Pick 6 ticket on a Saturday at Belmont, etc etc.. These are Business Owners, CEO's Bankroll Players (cats who play for wealthy folks) etc etc on a weekly basis. The author of this article is way off base. It's like comparing Pick 6 players with the local crowd on a Monday afternoon at Beulah trying to hit an exacta in the 5th. Just not realistic at all in my humble opinion.
Honestly, how many people on here or that you know of go to a track with $100 or $200 with the goal of playing the Pick 6? The Pick 6 is a great bet and their is no harm in it. I'll compare it to this. I went to Grand Victoria Casino in Rising Sun, Indiana a couple weeks ago. I walked in, after we paid for the hotel room and dinner, with a little over $100. Did you see me playing the $25 slots?
No. Same difference. Know your limits.
