Thanks Steveo. The ultimate jackpot attracts some big dollars, they pay out 70% of that each day to conso's. This number is bigger than most pick 5 pools and pick 6 pools out there. We little fish can get some nice coverage at .20 cents a share. Since we are playing for conso's it is a very risky thing for a whale to be involved in. A couple favorites come in and their 20 K investment is way under water. I start looking at it when it reaches about 1.5 million. One thing I dont understand is why not end this thing Florida Derby day. With the quality of racing that day the money they could expect would be astronomical. Pretty certain it would be a chop that day leaving them with a lot of happy customers. I can only think they are doing it the week before for accounting reasons.

Jim, Im late to the party, but congrats on a tremendous hit. You said it in the other thread, if it was a weekday, you probably would've taken down the whole thing, I think you are right.
Congrats again.

congrats. Maybe the reason they are ending it on March 26 instead on Fl Derby day is they will have a huge pool on Derby day regardless, so this makes it another huge pool day? just a thought.

Agree 100%...also - I'm sure Stronach would get a kick out of having that massive pool paid out - with the handle and the attention - on Fair Grounds' biggest day of the year too.
