I am refering to just the number of tickets that are live. Not the differnt combinationsthat are remaining in the upcomming legs Im not asking for them to give all the combination and probable pays , just the number of live tickets after each leg of pk 3,4 and 6.

I guess you would really want the amount of money that is alive, not the number of tickets. That way you could compare it to the original pool and have a better idea of what the payoff would be. That definitely could be done. The last leg of a pik usually has the estimated payoff (ie live money before the last leg but after the other results are known), at least at the track I frequent.

My original point was that you still have no idea where you are when you first bet and no race has been run. If it was possible to get a number on your odds before you make the pik bet, that would be the best. But I really dont know how that could be done.
