I like the $600 ticket myself, I think that forces people to do more handicapping and avoids just tossing horses you know you would never really use. Catch my drift?
I disagree completely with reducing the bankroll. $600 is not a realistic ticket for six races of big fields. You have very little chance of getting these right with 300 combinations. if i did my math right, if you assume 11 horse fields throwing 300 combinations at a pick six is like having a pick four contest and asking people to limit the wagers to $2, only two combinations. I don't care how good of a handicapper you are, you are not going to hit them.
