    Yes, if you hit it twice and those are only two winning tickets the only reasonable course of action is killing yourself.

    Hold on, I believe the carryover is only used in situations where not all races are hit by at least one ticket. So a pick 6 with the highest winner being a 5/6 gets some of the pot split among all tickets with 5/6 and then they carryover.

    There could be 200 6/6 winners and they split the carryover it doesn't have to be only one ticket, that makes no sense

    the carryover is paid out when there is a single winning ticket
    on days with multiple winning tickets ( except mandatory payout days) 30% goes to the carryover and the rest gets split up among the winning tickets

    Jake is correct below your post.

    What you are saying is correct at most tracks (and here on p4s etc...). However, the Rainbow P6 at Gulfstream requires 1 single winning ticket to payout the entire pot, or on the last day of the meet it gets all paid out among all winners that day.

    If you go look at the results each day at Gulfstream you will see that it has probably been hit 6/6 each day, but the carryover keeps building because multiple people are hitting it each day

    Today I have a busier day then planned so I am passing. However if it is not hit today guns will be blazing tomorrow. I will go very deep (500-1500)

    So you are the only person I want to win it today LOL. Good luck.

    Gulfstream is the only track so far to offer this type of wager (Rainbow P6). When Del Mar starts in July, watch and see how many carryovers they have that exceed one million dollars in their Pick 6. TVG has it set up so that the First Race at Del Mar coincides with the Last Race at Saratoga, so the people wagering at the Spa can just keep watching and wager on the P6 and other wagers at Del Mar.

    Look it up, but I think the P6 was hit at Gulfstream with a single ticket, and 2 minutes after the race ended they put an inquiry sign up, and DQ'd the horse.Travesty.

    Oh it's true. Possibly the biggest injustice I have ever seen in over 15 years of betting horses.

    Travisty. Terrible. The poor guy was on T.V. excited thinking he made 1.3 million. I feel so bad for the gentleman
    He really deserved it. I can only think of one other person this would happen to. What's his name Brock Landers? or something.

    That is insane, feel horrible for the guy. If the Favorite in the 8th dylan ward, came 3rd beaten 2 lengths wins I have 6/6 on my ticket. I can't imagine how that guy feels ted. They interviewed him before the race was official?

    Don't forget lotteries. The gubment loves the lotteries, LOL. No problem with them, but we can't let you have fun trying to make a buck on something that actually takes a little skill and has a much better chance of winning.

    I missed it, but from what I gathered reading tweets, it never should have been in question. I am assuming they figured it was a done deal.

    Just now pulled up the replay. From the side view it didn't look bad, but when you see the front view the 12 comes way over, but it wasn't a sudden move

    I can see why they did it, but I have seen much worse go unchanged

    Is it possible to turn a profit with a rebate book? At racing2day they payout a 9% bonus on your winnings. I know the takeout is 15-20%, but does anyone have any strategies to turn a profit with a rebate?
