It's brilliantly deceptive. Who doesn't like a jackpot bet with a high takeout? Where do I sign up?

Cosigned. I don't know why any serious horseplayer would ever play one of these 'jackpot' bets.

I'll be betting it tomorrow.

I don't think the concept works with a .50 P5. The probability of getting a unique ticket is too low. I don't mind the idea of the .10 or .25 P6, because it affords an opportunity of a unique ticket every week or so.
