SA to intro 'Super Hi-5'

[philcski]

Sweet! Another way for me to lose my money chasing an impossible jackpot. Only 95,040 combinations in a 12 horse field.

Isn't this the same approach that Shick and Gilette have taken with razor blades,

Yeah, that is pretty rough if you ask me. If they did it for a dime I could see some action on that but $1, that is nuts, 5 horse box will cost $120, 6 horse box will cost $720.

I like the Hammer, but he is out of his mind with this idea. Add a midrange Pk4 or something if you have to add an exotic

I got a 1 meet shelf life on this exotics, tops

If it is a carryover situation it could be very different though. As much as I'd like to be able to take part in a bet like this I think they would be better off making it $2 minimum and driving bettors like me out of the market and creating more carryover situations (which would draw bettors like me back into the market), At $1 minimum people like me won't play and they won't get enough carryovers to force us to play.

Recently I saw a discussion on another board about a ten cent pick-6 and there was a suggestion to separate the pool into two segments.
What if that idea was applied here. A bettor would have the option of playing a .10 or $1 wager on the race.All monies wagered would be divided 90% to anyone holding a $1 ticket and 10% to the .10 winners. If no one holds a $1 ticket the money carries over to the next day.
Hollywood's superfecta pools are around $175,000 and I would guess they would be cut down 25% by the additional wager. Assuming 50k was in the first day's pool roughly $4,000 would pay out to the .10 winners and $36,000 for a $1.
Any thoughts?

I have to admit that I am a moron for the above statements, it is really gathering alot of attention with 100k carryovers and now what looks like should be 300-350k in this pool.
