Beyer on Rainbow 6

[GPK]

I hit 5 of 6 (ran 2nd with Bourbon Courage in the race I missed) this past Sat on a $12 ticket. I will continue to prob throw between $15-$20 a ticket for kicks and giggles to maybe catch a small payoff, but noway am I gonna throw a few hundred dollars at what is virtually now, an unhittable ticket.

Yea, for me it's playing a ticket I would never even dreamed of player just for fun. It makes us players who are at a different levels get a chance.

If nothing else, it's great practice on playing a pic 6 with a 2.00 increment.

The best way to play this bet is to hit the quick pick. or wait till April 5th

Could this be the day in which it is finally hit!?

A 56/1 longshot won leg #1.

If it doesn't fall today, the carryover might make it to closing day.

considering the 2/6 sequence was 5-1,17-1,25-1,5-1,16-1, and 9-1 with multiple winners i'm not getting worried unless there's another bomb.

That "small payoff" is now routinely at the point where it pays better then the Pick 4 which we have no problem throwing 75-100 at. Also am I the only one to think the "Parlay" in this respect is a mythical creature. Isn't the parlay plowing everything you won in the previous race into the next. Wouldn't that crush the odds by race 5 and 6. And to parlay would mean that you would have to hit six singles in a row to reach the "Parlay" payout .. Good luck with that. I'd be interested in hearing why I am way off base... Been there many times.

It is somewhat mythical and your points are correct. It's just used as a baseline because it's the bet that aligns best with multi-race wagers structurally.

I'll use ateam's pick 4 to show why 4 singles in a row pays the same as his $30 investment would have when each play is parlayed.
