jokes aside, the shit where they raise the takeout to 24% on carryover pick 6 is an awful gut punch.
It's a blemish.
It looks greedy and exploitative on the surface.
The Pick 6 itself is occasionally a beautiful blessing as a gambling opportunity.
Possibility of a score is the thing.
Yet not to be dismissed - there are other beautiful things about the pick 6.
You have this thing where the probability is low and randomness is higher while at the same time you're getting this exponential gain in potential insight and knowledge for a skilled horseplayer that has also diligently put in the work.
You may have five watch lists for essentially a single venue's horse population. You start to know the major models, and you also start to notice the little things.
Multi-race wagers may seem like they require less skill than the vertical exotics, because you
only have to pick the winners.
That's funny in itself.
"
only" ??
!
You guys get it. Picking winners can obviously be challenging and rewarding.
