Pick six

[rolling]

If you only had 20$ to play the pick six what kind of ticket would you make out.

[Robert Fischer]

the wise guy answer = "a bus ticket" or "a time card!"

seriously if I had to I would go four legs with 2 contenders, a single somewhere , and a single in the last leg such as 2*2*2*1*2*1 =$16

[Tom Barrister]

Most pick sixes are a minimum $2 bet, so that would leave 10 combinations.

I would probably try a 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 2 x 5.

Another idea would be 1x1x1x2x2x2 and two more singles.

Right :bang:

I would have to use 2x2x2x1x1x1 with a single on the favorite in the last and the other singles where best needed.

I would probably use four singles and then 3 x 3 or 4 x 2 in the other races. Then I would pick my top horse out of the spread-out races as singles, and throw in a substitute or two in one of my original singles races.

Just because I was undercapitalized doesn't mean I would bet all chalk. I'd still look for a race or two where I didn't like the favorite and I'd make sure to leave those favorites off all my tickets. There's no room for lukewarm favorites on a $20 pick 6 ticket.

Have hit for $32 and for $48. Good handicapping and better luck.

1X1X2X2X2X2
1X1X2X2X2X3

things have to set up for a ticket like that, most pick 6 sequences don't. What really helps, is if I find evidence of a possible bias early in the card. Nothing helps more with bold play that will carry successfully through a 6 race sequence using few horses. Most days and most cards just aren't like that.

USE TWO SINGLES AND ONE RACE USE TWO HORSE (A DOUBLE) AND SELECT THREE HORSES IN THREE RACES. BET 5 TICKETS AND HAVE A DOUBLE AND TWO SINGLES IN EACH TICKET FOR A TOTAL OF $20 ( $2. COMBINATIONS )

EXAMPLE SELECT 123 IN LEG 4, 456 IN LEG 5 AND 789 IN LEG 6

SINGLE SINGLE DOUBLE 1 4 8
SINGLE SINGLE DOUBLE 2 4 7
SINGLE SINGLE DOUBLE 2 5 8
SINGLE SINGLE DOUBLE 1 5 7
SINGLE SINGLE DOUBLE 3 6 9

THIS EXAMPLE WILL GIVE YOU 5/6 GUARANTEED IF YOU GET THE TWO SINGLES CORRECT AND ONE OF THE TWO DOUBLES CORRECT AND GET EACH OF THE LAST THREE RACES CORRECT USING 3 HORSES IN EACH RACE.

THIS WILL GIVE YOU THE BIGGEST BANG FOR THE BUCK.

GOOK LUCK

THIS FORMULA GIVES A PERSON A ONE CHANCE IN 5.4 OF GETTING A 6 OF 6 PICK SIX HIT. THIS IS MUCH BETTER THAN THE FORMULA THAT IS SO COMMON ON THE NET AND ON THE RACING DIGEST EACH DAY- THREE HORSES IN FOUR RACES AND TWO SINGLES. THE $18 FORMULA GIVE A PERSON A ONE CHANCE IN 9 OF GETTING A 6 OF 6 PICK SIX HIT. SO MY $20 PLAY IS QUITE A BIT BETTER THAN THE COMMON 3X3X3X3X1X1 PLAY. ONE CHANCE IN 5.4 COMPARED TO ONE CHANCE IN 9 FOR THE COMMON PLAY FOR A PICK SIX HIT.

I think a $20 pick6 ticket budget is a real tough nut to crack. On any given day, any of the above approaches might make sense, However, I don't think any would yeild very good results on a consistent basis.

I personally feel the pick6 principles in Steve Crist's Exotic Betting book are very helpful.

On the downside, since I have really started practicing with the pick6 I have pretty much stopped playing completely. I can rarely get any level of comfort with under $400. Personally, I will keep practicing and playing only carryover pools when I have a good feel for the sequence.
