I wish NYRA or some track would try a hybrid variety of pick 6.
So many people hate these jackpot wagers in their current form, while the $2 pick 6 has the complaints of being dominated by the whales for being too expensive to play for the average bettor. Neither represents my view necessarily, just saying what I think seems to be the general arguments on each side.
So how about something like a $1 pick 6, 20% takeout, 10% carries over to a jackpot pool when hit by more than 1 person, full pool carryover when nobody picks 6 in a day, and personally I would love to see no consolation payouts. Also I would suggest mandatory payout days, possibly when the jackpot carry pool hits 300k or the last race day of each month as suggestions.
I think this would make for a very interesting & popular wager, but maybe there's just no more meeting in the middle any more.
