i will do it eventually but im sticking to pick 4's right now which have a $1 dollar minimum and .50 cent minimum at Lone Star Park my home track.

But u can win a pick 6 with a 2 dollar ticket, i heard on ATRAB of someone doing so.

its possible.
I think 100 pick 6 tickets which is 50 combos is a quick ticket to the poor house. Sure lightening can strike but I wouldnt bet on it.

100 bucks would be much better invested in a complicated pick 4 bet.

Default if u do ur research

u can hit a pick 6 with a smaller bankroll. if ur really concerned about it what I would do is get three or 4 buddies to chip in 32 bucks with you to where u can cover alot more combinations.

but ur right i would much rather put 100 on a Pick 4 than a Pick 6 although 100 on a Pick 4 is too much for me 50 is my max.

Of course you can hit a pick 6 with any bankroll, its just much much harder to do so with a small bankroll. You can do all the research you want, but in the end they still have to run the race. Your still going to get bad rides, bad dq's, horses that don't fire etc. 100 dollars just does not buy you much of a pick 6 ticket.

Yeah I remember that. What exactly was the point of $5 exacta minimums? And what happened to the handle after they did away with that? It went much higher.

I understand why Steven Crist advocates a $2 minimum for the pick 6, but then I don't understand why he bemoans " a lack of new wagering products"(DRF-7/1) as a reason for declining handle and attendance. What better way to stimulate new growth than $1 pik-sixes,10 cent supers, 50 cent pick 4's and 5's. Hell, NYRA doesn't even offer a pick 3 that culminates with the feature race. You have to bet a pick 4 that culminates with a NYB race 90% of the time. It all goes back to the fact that racing caters to the "whales" and ignores the average bettor. You can't have it both ways!
