Toppled:

Closing day and mandatory payout day for the Empire. Your theory didn't hold up on this one. (Leg 1 a 3-5 single to just add on the front end of a p5 to increase the payout. Even 50 cents worth of the p6 let's say by simply adding the 3-5 and paying for an equal denomination wouldn't even get you to the p5 payout).

1, Dr. Devera's Way.
$.50 p5, 65,846.50
$.20 p6, 23,794.70.

I have the others also. This was the rule not the exception even on today's mandatory/carryover p6 sequence for the horses in the finale compared to the p5.

**Note**--I know you likely can't even play a 50 cent pick 6 but wanted to attempt to compare apples to apples here. Mathcapper can possibly equate this much faster and clearer than I as well as correct my mistakes in statistical analysis here. But I don't want to put more on his plate.
