No doubt in my mind that the cappers on this site if the money was there,they would of hit this pick 6 today.Do you agree with me on this Steve ?

I don't agree. You'd need a leprechaun or a potato enthusiast to have the 9 in the last.

The only thing that gets you that 9 is structuring...the only thing

I am probably not going to do it BUT it can and would work. Look at Sumwon's partnership, exactly the same thing, same investment just one you get an animal, the other you get some juice for four hours.

None of this should go down without Steve's blessing anyways

I also would say Steve would have to give the ok before I would join in on it

I would be another that would buy in for $50 shares, up to $200 or so. I would contribute to the fund if there was simply an explaination of the selections by the committee, but wouldn't want any say in the selections.

ALostTexan · #8 07-02-2007, 09:54 PM

I would have to say, though, that a great deal of thought and paperwork would be in store. I don't know the legality of such a partnership in these bets, but I think it would probably have to be set up like a horse-ownership partnership.

I just wouldn't want it to get to a point that we would take down a pot like today, and then have to consider the legalities after $500K+.

The Dee Tee partners have been very lucky as they have gotten a nice little filly. Doesn't always happen like that. Again, not trying to be a downer, just honest.

I don't agree. People knew what they were getting involved with, and they knew the possible outcomes. Do you honestly think that people that would get into this would EXPECT to hit a pick six? The sun was shining on my ass three weeks ago, and honestly, I'll probably never hit another one in my life. Today I wanted to spend $2500 and I would have hit 1 race out of 6.....

All something like this does is give people that don't want to get nuts and drop 1k into a ticket the opportunity to hit something, this is alot like Rupert did today, his friend played a $3800 ticket or something, and he bought $50 of it. He owned 1.3% of that ticket and if they would have hit, he would have gotten back $7488 on that $50

I can picture the DerbyTrail pick six syndicate now.

take the dialog between pgrdn and the bid, and times by 100.

The Bid · #11 07-02-2007, 09:58 PM

I cant take the foolishness of PGA, hes knocked around this bet for months and he doesnt have the slightest clue what hes talking about.

Dude come on....You are telling me that every bet you put in you expect to hit? I'll tell you this, I hope I hit 10% of my wagers on the day because I know I'll be up money. I risk on certain things becuase if they hit, I'll get paid, but I don't expect to hit them

I see what you are saying and of course you risk to get paid, but don't you risk on your opinion? I trust my opinion, although it has been piss poor lately. This is all semantics. Like I said, good luck to whoever gets in on it.

Sure you risk on your opinion, but they way you stated it was that there was no risk in this. My guess is that you could go two years before hitting this, but just imagine if a total of 100 people had 20k invested into a syndicate, and today was the day that you nailed it, for 600k+, pipedream yes, but minorly possible

Some days you go for the guster, some days you go for the hit. Today I spent $216 and I went for the hit, the most logical way and I got gots, I'll guarantee you if I had 3k to drop on this bitch today, I could have gotten to the final leg, but I doubt I would have had that 9.....

it doesn't have to hit every pick six to be successful, of course every time you play you play to win, but you're going to lose for sure. but I would think playing with a larger bankroll will really up the hit rate compared to going it alone with $100 or $200. Not sure if it would work myself but I'm willing to try.

When I form this group its goals are winning money not just having fun.If I want to have fun I can go to a carnival.Like I say before,if this takes off and its show a profit along the way,there will be alot of riders coming aboard.Like I said I will come up with an idea to make this happen and work.

Both Steve and Chuck have accountability with the agreements that people signed do they not, it could be the same type of thing. I have met neither of them, but I trust them

DaHoss: you bring up a valid point....not every venture succeeds! The Partners were fortunate to have Chuck, and it turned out well for the initial foray into horse ownership! On the P-6 deal.... there has to be trust...much of it should've built up during DTs' Inaugural Year! We pretty much know the players...and the payers! The share thing would be the best way to play and not feel badly in not hitting the big one....it is entertainment after all
