7 days until they drop the bomb at GP
While the world at large frets over NY's inability to deal with something everybody else figured out a decade ago, and still missing the Met Mile on Memorial Day, at least we horseplayers have something to look forward to: barring a kick in the guts on Saturday or Sunday, we are going to have the mother****ingest mandatory payout of all time on Memorial Day at GP. Last year one of our number took down a share ($5500?) on a ticket that cost like $56. Of course that was based on a $.10 increment, and this year it is $.20--which probably means the pool will be driven upwards even more than it might have been under the former structure.
Thank you, GP, for this wonderful distraction. |

I'll be taking it easy this week specifically so I can unload on Monday and try to make five figures. It's the best betting opportunity I can remember since I started playing the horses.

Best in the context of a Pick 6 is generally (in my opinion) the ones with the largest fields, but I understand your point.

Doesn't simply utilizing the six races with the largest, most inscrutable fields work to the benefit of the whales - most likely the type of people who have not been playing the wager all along?

Gulfstream wants the payout to be huge. That way they can say, for 0.20 you won $5M. It is in there best interest to make it as tough as possible to have 2/3 winners of this thing.

Are they going to payout 5 of 6 as well? Or just to all 6 of 6

And with a 20 cent increment and at least 4-5 million being bet into it, there will be a lot of winning tickets. Last edited by lemoncrush : 05-20-2014 at 04:22 PM. Reason: Misspelling |

I have a strong feeling that things might not be as they appear come Monday...too much money of the line for greed to not take hold
|

Only 6 of 6.

What are we thinking for a final pool? 8, 10, 12M?

It is already quite possible the $6 million sitting in a proverbial shoebox has been damaging churn on a national level. If there were somehow two or three winners, a virtually impossible occurrence, it would be very bad for handle going further. I hope reasonably short prices win every race and we can get the money back into the hands of players.
