Twinspires Players Pool

Forces bad ticket structure: How does a bankroll force bad ticket structure? They had four days of handicapping yet they spent 90k on one ticket. Its lazy and irresponsible.

Limits possible return: True

I obviously put a ticket in yesterday, I was 4 for 4 (1x2x3x2) until the last two legs which I was 3x4 and lost both legs, my ticket was $288

As I have said, next time when they have this thing, I'm gonna start a Players Pool thread in the Selection Room (if I remember) where you have a 100k bankroll. My over/under if the proper people put in tickets is 11 people hitting it.

Personally, I just can't buy into the fact of letting someone else gamble with my money, without me having any say in it. I understand that the only way some people are able to play into a pick 6 like this, is through a players pool. If that is what they choose to do, that's their prerogative. I think it's lazy. I'm not one to play a pick 6. I know and understand my limits, especially with ticket structure and more importantly, having the proper amount of capital required.

I wouldn't hesitate to let someone bet my money if I was confident they had an edge, and it was an area that I either had no expertise or didn't have enough time to analyze myself. I'd be thrilled, in fact.

Yea, better not to play than to underfund a p6 ticket. It's the opposite of progressive taxation.

Ok, so explain to me how having that type of bankroll forces bad ticket structure?

The only way I can see it is if they are told they have to spent x amount on one ticket, which if it is the case, then I am wrong.

This may be true, but there is no specific information given to back the claim...... It's Imperial.
