Beyer on Rainbow 6

[ateamstupid]

The success of the Rainbow 6 in the face of blatantly terrible value underscores what a counterproductive anachronism it is to have $2 Pick 6 minimums at our major tracks. I'm not saying we should go to $.10, but just from a marketing standpoint, telling people "you could win 5 figures with this bet! First, put up 4 figures" is embarrassing.

I agree completely. I hit the thing Saturday with a "Syndicate" $150 wager. Was it a great thing to do with $150? Would that $ have been better spent somewhere else? Maybe/probably, but I know one thing, I'm not putting in a $3K ticket, syndicate or not. So maybe a point between .10 cents and $2 is what's needed.


But it's definitely the .10 cent incriment that attracts people, horrible takeout or not, IMO
