One question I get asked a lot by novices is do I bet the Pick 6?

My answer used to be no, except when there is a mandatory payout day and with a big carryover to boot. My main reason for not playing the Pick 6 is cost.

Most Pick 6 pools have a $2 minimum thus, for example, if you played a basic ticket using two horses in each leg the cost is $128. That is too rich for novice bettors and certainly those betting on a budget.

That was my public stance ever since I wrote “Betting on Horse Racing for Dummies” more than a decade ago.
