Frankie Rainbow –
Congrats on that 5 of 6 payout. Yeah, crazy day - I was surprised no one had all six. The $.20 parlay was $22.5K with a pool of $83.6K, so just based on the math, after adjusting for takeout there should’ve been one or two tickets on that combo, and that’s without taking into consideration that the longer combinations are often overbet in the Rainbow sixer.
I took a look at the Pk4 and Pk5 payouts and the Pk4 did indeed come back generous. At GP, it should on average pay about 68.5% more than the parlay but it ended up paying 140% more. Believe it or not though, the Pk 5 actually came back a little light. At GP, it should pay around 116% more than the parlay but it only paid about 71% more. I think the parlay was so high, even with those 7/5 and 2-1 winners, because of the two $30 horses and the other double digit winner. Just goes to show you that you can get some pretty sizable payoffs even with a couple of short-priced faves in the sequence..
