Need an opinion on Racebook issue that happened with Pick6 at Saratoga

**cbiscuit** · 09-02-13, 11:20 AM

I'm surprised the Racebook, if it is a racebook versus a sportsbook, did not play it toward expectation. THat said I know that some of the SPORTSbooks are terrible when it comes to playing P6 and other high payoff wagers. You have to read the fine print so to speak... I had a problem back in the 90's with similar issue and it turned out they had 'payout limitations' so I was partially screwed. I feel for you as you're right to expect the payoff but again some of these books throw in these loophole rules so that they don't have to pay out to winner.

Use Twinspires or a pari-mutual ADV if you are a pick 6 player.

I don't post much but I had an issue earlier today that I need people's opinion on because I think the book maybe in the wrong here. I played a pick 6 at saratoga earlier today and I hit 5 out 6 winners. In the Race I missed I played 2 horses and they both were literally late scratches in the race. My account ALWAYS has a all scratch refund meaning any scratches get credited to my account. Well book says the 5 out 6 is consolation payout and I can't get credited for any scratches? To me the 5 out 6 payout and scratches have nothing to do with each other? Thoughts?

if book goes by track rules. in pick 4 pick 6 And grand slam wagers, in event of late scratch. you receive post time favorite no refunds or alternate selections

think he is betting offshore to get track odds, not into the main betting pools

so if his scratches were in same race then he would have the fave twice in that leg so it would pay 5 of 6 x2 if that was the leg he missed

blg - the simple answer you are looking for is NO.

Always use track sites such as tvg. 4nhbets. And pick 6 that goes directly into racetrack pools.....there is always a max payout. .new York it would go to post time fav. Stay with the real track.

Yes if you decide like to throw free money away and not get rebates go with tvg or expressbet.

I would never play a pk6 with a book,they have capps on payouts. Keep your money in the track pools

I learned the hard way when I had to bring a 15K dispute to SBR in 2010...

You just have to know the rules at the book. Sure if your playing a pick 6 using tons of longshots and going after a huge score then play into the pool.
