Hollywood Pik-6 carryover 11/30

I dunno Stud. That last race is just so hard.
We're lucky to be alive anyway. I was gonna go three deep in the 7th race and only 2 deep in the 4th race. Once I found out that we had a scratch in the 7th race, I cut the race down to 1 horse and added horses in the 4th race. One of the horses I added was the winner, he wasn't on the ticket we were gonna play.
No way I could single the last race, or this race. So basically happy and lucky to be alive and just wanna extend the dream another 30 minutes.

Go Oracle!

well, you beat down the chalk there in leg4, so that's good.

i like the single.

I agree the last is just a total clusterf***.

Just get it there!

Oracle, How did you get so good at handicapping polytrack?

[uscrules]

Curious, how do you know many people singled the 2 that just got beat? Or are you guessing because of the odds. Dont always work that way partner. If it makes you feel good, then its true. Good luck with this single although I doubt you'll need it.

That horse was probably the 4th most singled horse on this card.
I'd guess the most popular singles are
1)Entry in the 4th race
2)the 1 in the 8th
3) The 1 in the last race
4) Indy's Windy in the 6th race.

Theres no way to know that, I am guessing this upcoming 1 horse is the most singled, but again a guess. Nothing more.
Hope you hit this thing.

You're joking? Take a look at the race 6 p3 pays. That gives a clue.

[uscrules]

So your saying the same people who play pick 3's play pick 6's? Maybe, maybe not. Dont always work that way partner. But if it makes you feel good its true. Thats what Matt Leinart always tells me.

Stud obviously he wasnt looking at the pik-3's and doesnt realize how much more it payed with the 5 than it was paying with the 2.
Its like 3 times the value.
And yeah USC, the same folks who play pik-3's play pik-4's and pik-6's.
Its not like there are some folks on an island somewhere who only play pik3's and soem on another island who play pik-6's only.
If you look at pik payouts of any kind they almost always correspond, as in pik-3 lowest payout with a horse being the lowest payout on the pik-4 with the same horse.
Trust me, the 2 losing kicked up the price by a factor of at least 2 1/2, maybe 3. You have to single someone somewhere.

Not good, kinda lucky.
The one we hit there on Sunday didn't pay much, and I singled TWO GRASS RACES!!
You might note that my single again is a grass race.
I still have no confidence in singling a poly race.
Thats the truth.

Rup,
The feeling you get after you get 4 parts home with great prices is kinda like a tight chest and real nerves. You look at the last two legs and the horses and try and decide who it is thats gonna beat you. LOL!
No faves yet, and that 3-1 running down the 8-5 in the 6th race was a BIG DEAL. I was screaming my lungs out for her to get up. Many tickets just hit the floor that had the 2 singled.
Opened at even money here with the single and now its 25 minutes of pacing the floor and calling a friend or two and trying to distract myself from thinking about it.

I don't think it mattered as much as you think. The only tickets left are guerilla tickets that would have had them both... you're in REALLY good shape... this payoff could be well over 6 figures. I'm rooting for you.
