7? It just seems like a natural progression!

After a series of performances like that I long for the older version of NYRA's pick 6 that included a consolation payout for 5 of 6. If you were playing multiple tickets with "A" and "B" picks you could end up with a number of tickets with 5 correct and almost cover the original investment. Unfortunately the cost was $2 per wager meaning that any play required a very large bankroll or a syndicate of friends to play.

The last two weeks I think an almost unplayable longshot won one of your legs. It just goes to show how big of a cover you need to hit one of these wagers. Someone always seems like they hit this wager and you can only imagine the size of the ticket that includes these horses.

That's one of the many reasons why I enjoy playing in our weekly ROI contests. It allows me to experiment with wagering strategies that would exceed my budget and not feel too bad about if they do not succeed.
