There is a fairly unique opportunity in gambling tomorrow. At the local horse track here at Gulfstream they have a bet called the Rainbow pick six. It is like a jackpot in that you have to pick every winner to get the share of the pool but it is unique in that the winner only gets 40% of that days pool unless they are a single winner in which case they get the lot. The rest rolls carries over. It is currently at about $2m but, and this is why this is a great opportunity, tomorrow is the last day of the meet here so it must be won tomorrow. All of the carryovers must be paid out tomorrow making it very much +EV even if you are guessing. I am by no stretch of the imagination an expert on US racing but I hav been to Gulfstream 50+ times and probably 5 times overs the past few weeks. I'm having a go anyway for $300ish myself but if any blondes want in then happy to accommodate. Shares would be prorated to how much you want to stake. I am not sure of tax implications here but I think we would get anything deducted at source back. I have to head down that way now so will pick up a daily racing form and spend sometime on this tonight and go to the track and place the bet myself tomorrow.
If anyone is interested (I realise it is a bit esoteric but it is a good +EV opportunity) then state amount in thread and I will PM bank details.

$50 seems reasonable, would prefer stars to BT- or if you want a bet tomorrow I can do equivalent with a few firms, let me know.
edit: Changed stake like a pussy

Is there any way we can get all the combinations with a certain amount of money as I (from a VERY quick google) note it is a 10c bet?
assuming a maximum of 14 choices per race - how many combinations are there?
edit/ forget this - assuming the very basic maths is 14x14x14x14x14x14 we'd still need $750k
2nd edit - still value, in for what I can afford, which is $30.

Where is Jerry Gedrick when you need him!
In of course, do you mind if I offer it to a couple friends too?
I'll send for everyone, but how quick do we need to send the cash over Stu?
