There is a reason why "Showvivor" contests that have literally hundreds of good handicappers playing, where you only need to make a single play per card, rarely make it beyond 2 weeks. I've toyed with the idea in big live money contests, where you could potentially turn $10000 into just under 70k with a run of five at $3 per payout. On big race days (BC, Derby, Travers, etc) getting 3 beans for a 2 to 1 shot isnt impossible. I mythically tried it a few times and not once was successful.
If you are playing pick 5's all year and are breaking even you are probably swimming in the right pool. IMO.
