Title: wagering strategy for FG pk 18 on Friday?
Post by: TreadHead on March 27, 2012, 07:50:25 PM
At least they made it a dime!

Im going with the following combinations:

all
all
all
all
all
all
all
all
all
all
all
all
all
all
all
all
all
all

For a mere $155,742,810,144,768,000 I think I should be the only one with a winning ticket.  Is this not more than the annual GDP of the entire world?

LOL, even Gates couldnt \'buy\' the thing.

Gotta get the rules on this bet and determine if there is some kind of carryover (zero chance anyone hits it) or they pay out the entire pool to the most winners. Im guessing its pay the pool to the most winners, so, its not really a pick 18, its an \'outpick the public\' competition.

Is the pool on this going to be more than 1,500 bucks?

Correct, it is a mandatory payout, so shooting for most winners. Over/Under for most on a winning ticket at 13?

I suppose it is a great day to buy TG as we are getting 18 races for the price of a single day?

Yeah. I love selling data at less than a buck and a half a race. Bah humbug.

Wait, Jerry -- it gets worse:

1. It\'s a fairly ordinary group of races -- so what you won\'t make in per race profit probably won\'t be overcome by increased purchase volume...and anyway...

2. Fairgrounds home page says beware -- the only off-track sites that can accept the pick-18 bet are those with AmTote equipment.

Let me know if you need any more cheering up.
