CONTEST ENTRIES: SA Carryover

[Gander]

I'm just trying to keep it real. Not many people have close to 2K to throw away on a lottery ticket. Some get into syndicates but there are usually more than 1 person making the decisions. You may as well make the bankroll
5K if its going to be a number that you'll never come close to playing.

$600 is a more realistic amount. Thats what Oracle usually throws in and hes hit like 7 of them.

Like I said it all depends on how deep the water is that you are wading into. If the races are compromised of 7-8 horse fields and there are a couple of real obvious singles, it is certainly much much easier to hit them with 300 combinations because the number of permutations are very very significantly reduced.

in my opinion, betting a pick six like the one in the contest with $600 is not realistic. It's stupid. That's why the syndicates are necessary because it gives people with only $600 a chance to have a reasonable shot.

I think a guy like me putting any more than $8 into a pick 6 is kind of silly. I'm not the brightest bulb that they ever put in a lamp!

But they sure as heck are fun to handicap.

I love to play the Pick 6 for $2 for shiats and giggles

single/single/single/single/single/single

when I hit I will photocopy my ticket and post it, and then change my name to Nostradamus
