I'd love to see some research myself but I don't think it will happen. When did Saratoga institute .50 P4's? I'll do some informal.

While I think 80% of the bets on the picks thread anymore are not real amounts being wagered the real bettors are getting more coverage using a $.50 bet thus more winning tickets. I personally only play pick 4s once in a while when I think there is value using a $.50 bet. I try to keep ticket $50 or under. Seeing $500 tickets to me is crazy on a pick 4. I'm still of the belief the doubles give you the most bang for your buck.

Surely there are some former triple bettors out there... I get the tax thing, but the triple at haff a buck makes it unplayable. When you hit one, you gotta get paid,and you don't anymore. Dime supers are a joke .wouldnt haff a buck there be a happy medium ? At least the pick 3 being a buck makes it ok to play. Make the double a deuce like the real,old days. A $5 min exacta one race a day would be awesome too in the last race

They aren't maximums....they're minimums.

Enough with all this minimum talk, when is the late Pick 5 coming to the rest of the NYRA calendar?

my guess- belmont super sats, when at least 10 races, and '17 spa season

Late P5 starts Saturday and on other cards with 10 or more..

It's a start, I guess.

Wish they would use their social media to poll their followers on preference of early or late pick 5.

I'd be astounded if the late pick 5 didn't have the majority of votes.
