Is NY ever going to introduce a pick five?

It's obviously not going to solve all of racing's problems, but there is clearly a market for it. So why not start working towards implementing it to find out if it adds handle or just siphons money away from other multi race wagers and becomes a net negative by making them less attractive?

in my opinion, having all these exotic wagers have helped to take this game down. if you asked me, i would turn back the clocks to the days where there was 1 daily double and 3 exacta's for the card and that would be it.

but i know that ain't happening.

Here's what's amazing, it's not the usual " I want something, NYRA doesn't have it, therefore they suck " silliness that frequents this board. It's the stubborn refusal to even entertain the possibility that there may be more than meets the eye as to why changes aren't implemented instantaneously, despite having frequently seen why this doesn't happen.

The 50-cent Pick Five seems like a decent idea assuming the Cali metrics translate to NY. You've made this reference about "more than meets the eye" a couple of times. Can you elaborate? I have no idea how NYRA would go about introducing such a bet. Maybe you can explain the process to everyone. Thanks.

i think in order to implement or change any bet in new york, someone has to approve it with a vote.

Someone from the NYRA has to ask for the bet.This Is difficult stuff

Don't you think (scary, I know) someone has?

NYRA asks for lots of stuff that either never materializes or takes a very long time to materialize.

Keep blaming NYRA though, and keep having your ignorance shine through.

No,I don't think the NYRA has asked.


You know that they have asked for a pick 5?

Once again, thinking has proven to be a major problem for you.

Why wouldn't they want that bet on their menu?

And if you come back at me with the ridiculous "Steve Crist wants to protect the pick-6" conspiracy theory, I might have to slap you.

I think by now most people here understand the politics and logistics involved with making changes.

This thread probably would have gone away quickly if someone with knowledge of the situation was able to say that NYRA was evaluating the Pick 5, doing some internal studies, etc.. but even if it's determined that they would like to add it to the betting menu, it would take some time because of the politics and logistics.

Without that, it sort of evolved into a debate over the merits of the pick 5 as if NYRA doesn't want it when that may not be the case.

LOL.

That's why I said "most" instead of everyone. Maybe I was tad too aggressive. Many? Some? A few?
