Jim: The biggest advantage he had was on the tri, for which there is no payoff matrix. Also, he had up to the second information, which is better than the tracks & Ameritab can offer.
Tony: You're right of course on the 5 of 6 payoffs on his "losing tickets." Assuming what I feel certain happened in fact happened, check my rough estimate math on what this cost the others with 5 of 6. The total pool was $4.5 million, & approx $2.4 went to Mr Single, with the remaining $2.1 going to those with 5 of 6, who received $4,600, which means there were 456 such tix. Assuming that his tickets are bogus, the whole pool would have gone to those 456, minus his tix, so the 5 of 6 would have paid in excess of $10k. At this point, there are probably a few people who wish they had not used a 10%er to cash their 5 of 6 tickets. I obviously didn't read all of the fine print on this pk6, as I thought there might be a carryover to Sun, the last day of the meet, which is when these bets are usually paid out even if nobody hits 6 of 6. AP did not even have a pk6 on Sun.
