    But you're spending the money to buy both sides of the other 10 games.

    You can't say its negative ev because as you said, you don't know what strategies folks are employing.

    I'm sure there are people who don't know squat and just pick at random, im guessing they are a small minority.

    And yes there are groups who box a lot of games, im aware of a few of them.

    The pool has been very much + ev since its inception if you pick your spots, ie, play the weeks where there's a lot of big dogs.
    The ontario government runs a pool where only you are allowed to box 10/13 games?

    +EV or not?


    Extremely improbable.

    Indeed. Not your finest moment. Fun to play with but no way in hell can you make this +EV without making some huge assumptions. I like the Canadian side, 40% take-out is just ridiculous. Picking your spots, LOL.

    Boxing all 14 games has been + ev historically, the ev goes up huge when you only play during weeks with bigger than normal dogs.

    Not sure who has the stomach for it though, costs over 81k to do it.

    Lesson over McIrish

    And what measures do you have in place to ensure there isn't 50 other tickets just like yours? Knock it off, you know the only +EV is for the folks running this racket.


    Historically +EV? LOL.

    Group down in Broward used to box everything when the Pick 6 got to a million dollars. I don't bet the horses so not sure of the exact numbers but they were risking like 400k or so I think it was. This was back in the 80's. Took them a few times of sharing it with other winners and thus losing their ass to realize there was no guaranteed money to be made by boxing them all up.

    What's the point of debating you if I present you with compelling evidence and your response is to laugh it off?
