ticket 1
1--2
2-1,2,3
3-1,2,3
4-1,2,3
5-1,2
6-1,2,3,4

ticket 2
1-1,2,3
2-3
3-1,2,3
5-1,2
6-1.2.3

ticke 3

1-1,2,3
2-1,2,3
4-1
5-1,2,3
6-1,2,3

mix htem up however, just put a single on different races on different tickets may give more coverage where needed , also do not need that many in every race to get more coverage somewhere else this is not the a,b,c method.

Thanks for your input. What would be your recommendation for someone like me who can only afford one ticket that ranges from $16 to an occasional $96 max bet. Appreciate any suggestion so that I can maximize my probability. Thanks in advance.

put it in the .50 pk5 or pk4 for more coverage to build the pk6 roll.

Thanks for advise. Just wondering, how often do you play Pick 6?? and how much do you usually spend on them?? Not to be nosy, just want to get a better idea on how to structure my tickets. Thanks in advance.

I never play the pk6, seldom play the picks, however I know a succesful gambler that says he keeps pk6 tickets less then 1k mainly plays them for around 800 thats for $2. the .50 pk5 not the pk5 jackpots, the players pk5 with the very low takeout is probably one of the best value wagers there is.I did play the late pk4 on millions day , hit it for $2 total cost was 120 so for .50 was only 30.00. I am currently thinking of playing the pk5 instead of supers however do not like the tax man. playing the dime super x10 gives you a $1 super if the dime is under tax boom you got away with not paying the tax when everyone else who made the $1 super pays as long as the $1 went over the tax that happens all the time. With the payouts on the pk5 that high for a dime wiht a single you basicly playing a pk4.

my dad actually bought the first season on dvd and let me borrow it. The only bad thing is there is only one season they canceled it because to many horses died during filming (supposedly)

Yeah, I heard bout the reason the show was cancelled. Thanks for letting me know that it's on DVD, think I am gonna get a copy. I actually like that show. At least the 3 or 4 episodes that I saw.

**mrginandtonic** · 10-20-13, 12:22 PM

Gonna play the pick 6 today. Here is what I like so far.

R4) 1, 8
R5) 1, 3
R6) 4, 7, 8
R7) 1, 8, 9
R8) 1, 3, 4
R9) 4, 7, 11

Didn't see it, sorry. Are you playing woodbine? I was looking over Race 6 at woodbine (DRF race of the day). Who do you like? I think it is a vulnerable favorite. Think the 12 and 13 may be shot at a decent price.

You know what I found when I gave up my pick 6 dream and just started doing pick 4's I started hitting them like crazy. The .50 base makes a big difference. Most of mine have topped out at winning $1,000 but the other day I went for a pick 5 had all in the last leg and while the favorite ended up winning and paid under a grand a $10,000 horse was close. Best rush ever. Still not bad for $54. I would focus on pick 4's for awhile you would be surprised how much these can still pay and you can realistically hit them in the $32 range where as $32 pick six is a prayer.

**TonyP** · 10-30-13, 12:01 AM

mrgna are you playing the pk6 carryover thursday or playing the guarnteed huge pk6 on sat or wait to see if it carries over to sun on a must go day?

Thanks for the recommendation, homer. I do play pick 4's, pick 3, DD. Basically, I'm a horse racing junkie. I play everything. The only thing that I don't do is play a lot tracks. I stick with Southern California tracks cuz that's where I live. Play NY once in awhile. And of course, the big races. GL to you, anything you like, would love to other people's picks. Thanks in advance.
