You could probably get this info, although I'm not sure how easy it is to find, but I would be curious what woud be the largest ticket played that pool today.

I would think 90k is probably close to the top 3 tickets cost wise. Maybe I'm wrong.

First of all, that is not what the other poster said....so why quote my post disagreeing with him?

However, since you asked....I don't think you have really thought this one through. I am not saying I would construct the play as they did, but I will guess it wasn't random, and they certainly deserve the benefit of the doubt.

I don't have the prior tickets as proof, but I recall them normally spending alot of money on one ticket and then smaller backups.

I guess there isn't a correct answer when it comes to structuring a bunch of tickets because it will always depend on the sequence, but at some point I would trust my handicapping.

That's fine...but they have hit before, and I don't think it's particularly fair of people to criticize them after they lost today. If it's not how you want to play, that's great, but we all lose, especially in these types of situations, and there is no reason to knock them after the fact because they lost. Where was the same talk after they won recently?

I thought Derek Simon was putting the Brisnet Players pool tickets together. He was on Steve's show a few weeks or maybe a month or so ago. Pick 6, I would take a pick 3 or a double or a winner. I am in my yearly warm weather slump. Just whining a bit not winning.

After the Derby carryover they invested $80k they put 6 tickets in with the largest being $67k and hit it. They actually had 2 winning tickets due to the late scratch in the first leg which wound up on the PT favorite.

The gross payout for both tickets was $295k which netted down to $220k and added another $33k on 52 consos for a total net collection of $254k

That's a pretty good day
