Whether or not you may think its useless, NYRA and all other tracks too have no reason not to extend this sort of service to its customer. Its 2010, we have this technology available to us. Its not rocket science, its the age we now live in. I would find this information a lot more valuable and interesting than what I see coming from NYRA on Twitter.

Let's see...

The whole concept materialized approximately 17 hours ago and every track should have adopted it by now? Got it.

And the number of people alive in the P6 is more valuable information than Andy Serling delivering winners into your hand wherever you are with plenty of time to get bets in? Got it.

Not even the point..The point is if it costs money NYRA can't do it. The shame is the people are finally in place that care enough to make the racing great. NYRA has decent purses and fairly good racing especially considering trouble they are in.

It wouldn't cost NYRA a nickel to allow .50 pic-4s on its own races or to allow NYRA Rewards players to make fractional wagers on simulcast tracks (such as Gulfstream, Keeneland, FG, etc.) where such denominations are permitted.

Isn't that a Racing and Wagering board issue?

Maybe since it wouldnt cost them a nickel they should allow nickel pick 4's?

I'm pretty sure Andy would be embarrassed by that comment.

Wow, if you read my post I said NYRA on Twitter, not Serling on Twitter.

Go to the NYRA web site. The two are entirely different sites. I was speaking about the Twitter-NYRANews, not the Twitter-Serling.

And I was expressing an opinion that I would find it far more valuable to know up to the minute pick 6 information rather than news that you can easily get on the website that most bettors already know anyways.

I also think you guys are overestimating how much software like this would cost.

Sorry for having an opinion.
