Perhaps, to an extent.. but those playing a P5 are looking for a bonus return based on the degree of difficulty. Could be reasoned that a $1 increment makes up for the loss of .50 players. There would potentially be more carryovers too under the $1 increment scenario.

These are interesting discussions.

Look at the creation of the Super Hi-5. It came out of Santa Anita focus group conversations years ago with serious $1 Superfecta bettors who felt disenfranchised when the .10 minimum was added. There were players whose major action was big ticket $1 Supers and suddenly the big payoffs evaporated. Aaron Vercruysse was responsible for the work that created the Hi-5.

well I know his ive his some nice payoffs with the 50 cent just by listening to your show about a month ago I hit a ticket worth 162 for me and it payed 14 grand king Zackary startedthe pick 5 for me at 26 bucks ill stay with the 50 cents

Couple of questions
Do you think making the early pick 4 a $1 minimum would attract much more action and good payoffs?
I think the pick 5@.50 is fine as the payoffs are usually pretty good.
Do you think making the triple $1 minimum would boost the handle on the triple? It used to be a deuce back when it cost a buck for a racing form not The sawbuck it is these days.
Isn't .50 a more reasonable minimum for the super than the ridiculous ten cent minimum ? With the new tax rules in effect, isn't this a logical move ?

I guess I cant argue with the carryover point but, in addition to the larger pool, shouldn’t each individual player, in theory, also be hitting Pick 5s more frequently, which makes up a little bit for the lower payout?
