Old school thinking, tilted towards giant bankrolls.

At 10 cents, I\'m much more likely to put a play in; when the P6 sheet tallies past $1000 for $2, I won\'t do it. Partners are a pain in the ass, so forget that.

You might be filthy rich, but I\'ll take a \"no thrill\" $10K, any day; we all must learn to live with a little disappointment.

The entire 10 cents Pick 6 will be awarded only to one unique ticket. On days there are multiple winners, 60% of the pool will be shared equally while 40% goes back into the jackpot.

Brilliant! $.10 cent pick sixes, do I hear a nickel next?, f--k with the only pool that puts life in the game, more Brilliant. GP not a pick 6 venue(unless multiple Carry\'s) so it does not really matter.

Similar to Beulah\'s \"Fortune 6\" -- minus the winter wonderland charm of Grove City, Ohio, of course.

Puts life in it for whom exactly Mike?  Big syndicate tickets, who get rich off of the guys that feed into it on big days without a chance in hell of hitting it??  Yep,  thats great for racing.

Paul,

Carryovers most certainly put life in the game for many small/medium players. Syndicates are myths here(hongkong has a few).If you mean a group/groups that gets together and pool their money, you\'d love to be their bookmaker.

Thought it was 5,000 based on a dime vs $2 ticket.

 Not against the plan, just sayin.

So excited about the possible winnings, I had it twice.  :)

Seriously -- I make so many math errors here, no one would believe I was a member of Mu Alpha Theta eons ago. Pass the Ginkgo Biloba, please.

I\'m guessing what will make this wager special will be on closing day of the GP meet.  I don\'t know the rules in Florida, but most places will require a mandatory payout of the pick 6 of that day.

The chances of one solitary ticket hitting a dime pick 6 are probably pretty slim throughout the GP meet, so there is a possibility that upwards of $500,000 to $1 million could be split among all of the dime players on closing day in a mandatory payout where the original rules of paying out just a certain percentage to the lone winner go flying out the window.

Guys if its $100K but you only had it for a .10 and only got paid $5K.
Then that $500 ticket only cost you $25.
And maybe after the ticket puncher rang it up for you said \"Repeat Ticket\".

There are some people who love to play but dont want a whole Daily Bankroll tied up in a Pick Six Ticket. Guys who want to play the Pick Six but have to work, etc, etc.

Its hard for the \"little guy\" to spread a Big ticket without it being real costly and sometimes the only way to catch the Fluke Longshots is to be spreading.

If someone Handicaps ALL 6 Races he might want to punch a ticket in for that day. This is the only chance I have as a minnow to go head to head with WHALES like Jerry Brown and Steve Crist!
