Its virtually impossible to cover in that instance for many reasons.

If this thing gets over 2.5 million, they are gonna do a forced payout sometime afterwards IMO.

Its within the rules as long as they follow some guidlines.

(7) A written request for permission to distribute the Rainbow 6 carryover
on a specific date shall be submitted to the Division. The request must contain
justification for the distribution, an explanation of the benefit to be derived, and
the intended date for the distribution.
(8) Should the Rainbow 6 carryover be designated for distribution on a
specific date, the unique wager provision of this Rule shall be suspended, and
the entire pool shall be distributed as a single price pool to those whose
selection finished first in the greatest number of Rainbow 6 contests. The
Rainbow 6 carryover shall be designated for distribution on a specified date and
performance only under the following circumstances:
(a) Upon written approval from the Division as provided in Section
(7) above.
(b) When the Rainbow 6 is discontinued.
(c) On the closing day of the meet.

Why wouldn't they want the jackpot to keep going higher and higher?

Pick 5 carryover of $60,762 tomorrow.

Great job again on the P4 Steve!

Way to keep the Byk train rolling.

Congrats and thanks as always.

I would think at some point that the betting would become stagnant because getting one ticket would become almost impossible. Look at today for example, $34/$36/$52/$20 and there was MULTIPLE people hitting it with only 2 horses alive to one sole ticket.

Maybe I am wrong

The entire concept of the wager should make betting stagnate, but it doesn't. People who are already ignoring 52% takeout and lottery odds aren't going to be deterred by a few tough sequences being covered.

I hope you're right, because I don't want to wait until closing day to have that shot at a huge mandatory payout pool, but I think the higher the jackpot goes, the better it is for Gulfstream.

Gotta believe people are playing because of the money that is in the jackpot not what was taken out...

Knowing what was put in today, I am curious what was put in on a Wednesday afternoon lets say 4 or 5 weeks ago...

I would venture to guess that if it wasn't hit today, it isn't going to be hit. More and more money will be coming in and take up more and more combos.

pretty brutal and tight photo for whomever had that 1 horse in the final alive to the whole P5 pool too....

Some one was alive to the 9,10 for the single ticket payoff. I would bet they had many more covered on that ticket but was looking for the single payoff on them horses. So, they most likely had the 5 covered but shared the payoff. $110k on multiple tickets. Just hope it wasnt the same guy/group with the multiple tickets canceling out the single payoff. How depressing if so??!
