My main point is that by putting so much money into the pool, even if they hit it, what can their ROI be as a result. If they hit yesterday, they would have managed to get 3-1 on their investment (and that is pre-tax). Aren't there better bets to be made every day that making such a high risk proposition?

Why can't their ROI be good? I'm no expert in betting Pick 6's, but it's not obvious to me that getting 3-1 disqualifies them from having a good ROI.

This isn't obvious to me, either. Why can't a single ticket cover most of what you want to bet?
