Why must the P6 be a $2 wager?

[JJP]

That makes some sense but in general, I think people would be more willing to pump in the money even on days with little or no carryovers, and that has to be the majority of the days. So the pools would get bigger, faster.

I was complaining about this the other day. You can bet dime superfectas at some tracks, but the frigging Pick 6 is a $2 wager. Shadow Roll's theory seems to make a lot of sense.

It makes sense on normal days to create carryover situations. On big racing days with no carryovers and a big minimum guaranteed pool they should offer it for 50 cents or a dollar. Pimlico did this on Preakness Day.

Good point, and makes a lot of sense. But this presumes that track management actually gives two sh*ts about what the average bettor wants.

Ultimately if they get some smaller players playing them for 50 cents on big days they will get more comfortable with the bets and suddenly find themselves playing for 2 dollars on normal days. It isn't like there is going to be a carryover on Traver's Day or JCGC day the majority of the time regardless of the minimum.
