Better play today - DMR P5 or DMR P6?

[Clip-Clop]

PK-5 for sure. For me anyway, a serious lack of budget and talent keep me from playing many Pk-6s.

Pick 5 for sure and its not close.

There is going to be much more un-informed money in the Pick 5 compared to the majority of the Pick 6 money that is going to be majority syndicate money.

Then there is the whole takeout thing.

Great question. I gave this some thought, as well. My opinion is serious, syndicated type players would be less likely to dive into the p5, despite the lower takeout. Two main reasons for this.

1) .50c minimum wager is the great equalizer and a few favorites in the sequence would destroy the payoffs. Many "smallish" type players can take a bite.

2) The smaller fields in a few races in the sequence almost ensures a "less than four figure score".

If I were looking to invest thousands today, I would definitely focus on the p6....but that is just me.

No thanks. I'm betting it so I certainly hope I'm wrong.

PK5 no doubt! Has always been the PLAYERS bet...

It's the Pick-5. By about 20 lengths and not even close.

It's very rare when you get a carryover like that -- and you've got the low minimum and low takeout.

The carryover is even larger in the p5. Syndicates have a lot less power in a Pk 5.

A 4-5 shot, and only one double digit win mutuel through the first four legs...five of six willpays are signers for a $0.50 minimum bet. The $484 willpay seems solid on the favorite as well.
