How is a wager with basically no takeout (courtesy of Carry) a sucker bet?

I would say the small ticket approach could be considered somewhat of a sucker play because the deck is quite stacked against you.

Never bet more than you can afford to lose. I'll leave it at that.

What does that have to do with the pk6 being a "sucker bet"?

It is great for racing.

The betting public doesn't need to be protected from itself.

The industry has so much room for improvement in areas like Mass Media, and Drug Rules , but the pick 6 is not a problem.

He lost me in the first paragraph, when he called Perry "Cuomo" on vinyl not a good thing.
