My main point is that by putting so much money into the pool, even if they hit it, what can their ROI be as a result. If they hit yesterday, they would have managed to get 3-1 on their investment (and that is pre-tax). Aren't there better bets to be made every day that making such a high risk proposition?

Why can't their ROI be good? I'm no expert in betting Pick 6's, but it's not obvious to me that getting 3-1 disqualifies them from having a good ROI.

This isn't obvious to me, either. Why can't a single ticket cover most of what you want to bet?

I'm not against it the caveman theory at all. But 90k?

Just yesterday they owned 2.4% of the ENTIRE pool and I personally think they could have done ALOT better with (3) 35k tickets.

With 100k to spend, you can get REAL creative with how you structure, it is basically unlimited because at some point you have to trust your opinions. For example, if I had 100k to spend I probably would have had three tickets that had 1 singles on it each.

I just feel one ticket for 90k considering the sequence was the wrong way to do it, was lazy, and was not thought out throughly.

You really think people gambling with this much at stake are lazy?
