Really thought that there would be a price somewhere in the sequance, but it was nothing but a God damn parade of chalk.

Better then throwing them away... Is it me or are these .50 P4's making an already hard game impossible by depressing payouts. It is not a matter of simply doubling your bet to correct the issue. The game may be driving away its bigger players by focusing on the small-change.

Is Woodbine the only 1.00 pick 4 left?

I'm not sure if that is true. I think using Hollywood is a bad example. There were two 5 horse fields and arguably one of them had a logical single. I think the first 3 winnners were 6/5, 7/5 and 6/5 until a 7/2 (second choice) won the nightcap. Unfortunately it just chalked out.

I think the bigger players will be more selective as far as where to invest their money. Maybe they will just opt for tracks with sequances that have full fields. Personally for me, I like the .50 minimum bet. I'm not a big player but this allows me to go deeper on certain legs that I wouldn't have been able to do in the past.

Also with the .50 minimum I think there is a much greater emphasis on a captian obvious horse losing somewhere in the sequance. It much easier to buy a race now, especially if you can find a single somewhere in the sequance.

In the end it's probably a little of both, but hopefully along the way you are able to catch something big, due to the fact that you had some 60-1 shot that you would have never covered on a 1 dollar ticket that you were able to get on your .50 cent ticket. But as long as sequances continue to chalk out like they did at Hollywood yesterday, it really doesn't matter what the minimum bet is.
