i had to split it...i guess you did not read what i said....i partnered up today...because i knew it was going to pay squat...plus i lost 600 hundred yesterday.....so big deal...we picked six and made 1600...i could lose that by friday. i guess thats what people aspire to do split a losy ticket after it was the hype of the century....i bet all the time i could care less about what a parley pays...the pics are always a pool and its all about the money vs. the reward....i would not be surprised if someone did have it 20 times...i don't waste my time to pic 6 and not win something good.

If you have all this dough, you could have punched it for a typical $2 pick 6 ticket and had it 20 times for $65k. The dime wager allows more players to play and in this case, avoid IRS withholding. This is a good thing. Is $65k not good enough?

And if you don't care how much it pays relative to the parlay, you don't understand multirace wagers.

Handle was up $13 million (81%) over the same day last year.

Gulfstream absolutely crushed it this year. Handle up something like $50 million from last year. You missed a word though- it was up TO $13 million (an 81% increase from last year when it was $7.25MM.)

Then you're doing it wrong. The very idea of the multirace wager is to get paid more than the individual win prices would've given you, genius. Do you have absolutely no concept of value? Because your idea of it is apparently pissing away money chasing a nearly imaginary jackpot at 50 percent takeout, rather than hitting a pick six against nearly zero takeout that paid almost six times the parlay and three or four times what it would've paid on a regular day.

You can't be this dumb.
