Plaers Pool Pick 6 ticket
Anyone here going to join the Players Pool Pick 6 Ticket on
Brisbet? I always thought about something like this as there
is a lot of power pooling your money...I am thinking of throwing
in to the pool...I wish there was a way to tell how much is in the
pool b4 you bet....worth a shot if they get 10,000 to play with ....
What do you think??

Considering my betting level, putting together a $500 pic 6 ticket doesn't make a lot of sense...........but for a $10 buy in...why not?

I'm not going to do it just because I know one of the guys making the selections, and don't care a whole lot for him.

They are certainly getting innovative over at America Tab. First the online Contests, now a pooled Pick 6 ticket.....
I didn't even think such a thing was quite legal, but I guess it is....for them at least.

Care to clue us in on why or is it personal ?
I think this is a great idea that I thought about yrs ago......but was not on this scale...I never thought they would get this much response. I'm in for 1%---- unless this really goes whacko...I will wait till almost closing to put my $ in...could be fun day and profitable...

It looks like there was no 6 of 6 winner, and the Ameritab ticket had 5 of 6 5 times. My calculations show $63.40/$10 unit.

What Friggin Horse did they miss? If it was "better talk now" I am going to be pissed..............and I bet they sweated the objection. I did...........but I had him across the board ......my get out horse of the day. I probably would have made more money if they took him down..........although I think the pick 6 would have been very chalky if they put the fave back up.........

1,2,3,4,6,8,10,11,12
With #2,3,4,5,9,13
with #3,5,8,11,12
with #1,2,3,4,6
with #1,4,5,7
with #1,6,9,12
plus a smaller ticket
They missed the Juvy winner, Wilko. It looks like they are withholding 28% for taxes. They were obviolusly hoping that BTN stayed up!

Heck, even I would've picked 5 of 6 with a 43 thousand dollar ticket.
Nonetheless, it's definitely good publicity for AmericaTab. At least they're doing some imaginative things to drum up business.
And just for the heck of it, I did the math. If the AmericaTab ticket had been the only winner, it would've paid out on 6 of 6 after taxes $5715.70 for every $10 invested (odds of 792/1 minus 28% for the IRS) plus consolations. So probably around $7500.
Sad part is that the consolations came back at odds of 9/2 ($48.70 for each $10 wagered)....and it has to be reported to the IRS as gambling winnings since the ticket itself was a "signer". I'd never thought that I'd see a 9/2 signer.

Wait a min-if they took 28% tax out already, why do we need to pay another tax?

One of the guys I just dont care for. Nothing personal, and I can talk to the guy sometimes, but it almost just seems like that he is better than everyone else. Also, I have heard that he has been known to blow 250,000 in about 4 or 5 years gambling.
