Scoop6 up to $25m

[nearco]

The Scoop6 in England has rolled over for several weeks now and is up to over $25m. The 6 races are spread out over 3 different tracks.

The first race, 2:05 at Haydock, was won by a 16/1 shot.

One race left in the pick 6 to go and 122 tickets are still alive.

There are 17 runners in the final race, a 7f affair at Haydock.

Eight new millionaires with another five million for which they can compete next week (Scoop6 (http://www.scoop6.co.uk/results/))!

Yes, 8 tickets on the winning horse in the last.

US racing should do something like the Scoop6 or V75 in Sweden.
Have 6 or 7 races spread across 6 or 7 tracks from east coast to west on a Saturday. Make it easy to buy tickets online, or at convenience stores. You would have a lot of eyes on horses and races.

What was the average field size today and in previous weeks? That'll explain why our respective P6 pool will never match.

So that's 10.2 Million combos, compare to 113K in todays GP R6 sequence and 721K in todays SA P6 sequence.

The races are hand-picked to ensure ensure large competitive fields
Usually they're handicaps its a pin stickers paradise although the syndicates do sweep up a lot of prizes.

1. We don't have the handicap system, the claiming system, which already in itself is a negative for the sport here.
2. The syndicates can cover more tickets obviously, but their expectation probably isn't too much better per ticket/combo then the average player, just reduces variance.

We had something similar here with stakes races at different tracks. But they didn't have a carryover I believe? Probably about 5-6 years ago. Forget what they called it.

I think it was something like the Magna-5. Usually started off with Laurel and was only tracks that Magna has a piece of I believe.
