NYRA Late Pick 5

I believe that the pick 6 player is a totally different animal anyway. I know for me personally, I'll always play the pick 5 and then depending, sometimes the 4 also, but I am never jumping into the pick 6 pool. I realize that I just don't have the bankroll for it and rather take a healthy swing at a pick 5 than a half hearted feeble stab at a pick 6.

This is my approach too. It's not as if now that there's no late Pick 5, I'm going to spend $200 on 100 lousy Pick 6 combos, and I also am not willing to bet a 24% rake Pick 4 with nearly the same resources I would the Pick 5. I'd estimate that my handle on these weekend cards has decreased by the thousands since they killed the late Pick 5.

NYRA has done a lot of good things in recent years, but this is a ridiculously dumb self-inflicted wound and something I hope would be rectified.
