lose a majority of the time. Its rare to find anyone in this game who wins
consistently year in and year out but there are a select few so this e-book will
prepare you for entering the company of this select group. So lets start with
how much do pick 6 winning wagers payout?

So First of all I would like to congratulate you on your purchase of How to

win at a Pick 7 and from here on out the way you think about horse racing
handicapping will change forever. Whether you are brand new to the Sport of
kings or have been around the block awhile this e-book is designed to give
you new incite to the exciting pick 6 betting opportunity that can put
thousands of dollars in your pocket. If are familiar with horse racing then
what you have learned so far along basic terms and how to read a daily racing
form will come in very handy. If not no worries we will give you some sources
to catch you up to speed and go from there.
This is not a latest and greatest complicated software program you have to
study to figure out its some general principles that you can apply today to your
handicapping and begin your journey to success!! If you follow what is in this
Ebook you will be on your way to cashing in pick 6 races that are in the
thousands.. How would a $50,000 ticket change your life? How about a
$125,000 or even a $650,0000?? These pick 6s are out there and someone is
winning them why not you? Create your own life and eliminate some
financial worries. This will not be a get rich quick scheme and whether you
stay the track will be totally up to you. The choice will be yours but you will
have the know how and information to do so taught in this e-book.
So lets get started~ a PICK 6 is exactly what it is called and its when you pick
the 6 winners in a row from the initial preset race. Not all race tracks have pick
6s but there are plenty that do. Gulfstream, Hollywood Park and Santa Anita
park start there pick 6 with the last six races on the program for example. If
you are going to wager $4, $16, or $48 on a pick 6 jackpot opportunity you
want to get the most bang for the buck. So even though there are many pick 6
opportunities out there we will be teaching you how to just go after the larger
opportunities. Your time is valueable and if you are going to hit the pick 6 then
it should be a nice (sometimes life changing payout.) This will be tracks that
normally have some carryovers (which is when nobody hits the pick 6 and
they continue to roll it over to the next days racing.) This jackpot can grow
and grow sometimes going over a million dollars in the pick 6 pool.
Its to my understanding that less than 2% of the pick 6 players out there today
are repeat winners of five or six figure paydays each year. These players are
most likely making similar bets to the ones you will make by the time you are
done reading this ebook. When or if you play a pick 6 what would it be like if
you chose the favorites and all of them came in? It would be a winning pick 6

for yourself and of course you would be happy. Taking home a 1,000 check or
so is nice but what if some of those were not favorites. How about if the odds
of these horses had 8 -1, 4-1, 6-1, 4-1 and 10 -1 now we are talking about huge
six figure pay day. That would be a little nicer now wouldnt it.
Less than 5% of the pick 6 players in the horse racing industry have one once
or rarely hit a pick 6 betting opportunity which means 95% of the horse racing
handicappers never hit the largest payout in horse racing wagers. Why is this?
Most of these handicappers are loading up on favorites which win about 30%
of the time and this can be a stretch at times but this means that the favorites in
pick six horse racing lose 70% of the time. What?? This bears repeating and
we will continue to work this into your mind throughout the book.
FAVORITES (we are referring to the morning line favorites) lose 70% of the
time in pick sixes at least. So 95% of the handicappers out there are
continually feeding the pool with their money until a suave handicapper such
as yourself walks in and applies these principles taking the monster pick six
jackpots!!!
So keep in mind with very few exceptions you want to be wagering on the
pick six bets that are going to have the highest payouts. You can actually
google carryovers watches and have them emailed to you daily so you are
aware of the large ones coming up.

Here is a rule that is going to change your life and we will put it in bold print
for you its the 30/30/40 rule and the one that can make you rich. This
means that Morning line favorites will win 30% of the pick six races.
Horses at 9-2 or lower excluding the favorites) will win about 30% of the
races and the money making part of this equation is that 40% of the
horses that will be crossing the finish line in this prime betting
opportunity will have odds 5-1 or higher. Of those selections 20% will
have 8-1 or higher odds.
Lets give you a quick example if you are going to do a typical $48 wager

which is a $2 pick 6 that lets you choose eleven horses. You will be in pursuit
of a five figure paycheck at the very least so you should consider using two or
three of your selections for favorites, probably four or five for horses with low
odds and four or five selections at odds of 5-1 or higher. Be sure to try and find
a decent longshot or two at 8-1 or higher. Its that easy!! This is a good rounded
pick six and the ones that typically win.
When being a handicapper you always want to improve your handicapping
skills and play smart. Treat this as a business and with some luck you will find
yourself cashing in nice tickets with your pick six strategy. If you need a little
brush up on some general horse racing handicapping knowledge a dynamite
site to pick that up at is www.horse-racingtips.com. It has information on
maiden races, claiming races and what to look for when you are studying the
program. Really comb through that site and some of the many other ones out
there learning as much as you possible can. Go to the library and find horse
handicapping books where each author has his own spin on things and you
can really soak in a lot of great information.
When you are running your horse racing business its going to take some time
and because you took the time required to study todays races you will find
some very weak favorites and a handful of strong long shots that should be
strong contenders. If you can find any reason to drop a favorite that is in favor
of a contending horse at longer odds definitely do so. It may go against
everything you have learned in the past but lets face it.. The past has cost you
some money and has not allowed you to cash huge winning tickets. After you
do so a few times you will be able to analyze a race with confidence either
focusing on a singled favorite or around several contenders. I like to focus my
selections on only two favorites hitting the finish line first. Cashing in on just
one pick six like this can take you a long way.
Okay so you followed the strategy so far in the book and have landed yourself
a nice ticket. Maybe it took you several to hit your first one but you have nice
balanced pick six tickets that are not relying heavy on favorites like we have
said and everything comes together. Today is your day!! When going to the
IRS cashiers window you should have 3 things ready to go and these are:
* Photo ID
* Proof of Social Security number
* 3 x 3 post-it note
When you go to the window and its your turn to step up hand him your
winning ticket, photo ID and proof of your social. Then what I like to do is

place the post it where it shows your winning amount. This amount is for you
to see but they will tell you and the whole world does not need to know about
it. This is a lot of money and its time to be cautious not brag to the world on
how much money you have won so someone else can stalk you and endager
you. Always good to error on the side of caution. So after tax winnings are
$76,534 and its easier for some of the bigger tracks to want to give it to you in
cash. What you want to do is take $534 in cash but request them cut the rest in
a check. This will take some approval but have yet to see a track that will not
grant there big winner this wish. At this time its good to give them a gratuity
of $10 to $50 but that is not totally necessary but always a good jester.
While we are on this topic at the end of the year will will have to report your
winnings on your W-2G. Remember this tip and it will save you a lot of money
down the road. Never throw away a losing ticket!! Save all your tickets
throughout the year because you can offset how much you are taxed by
keeping an accurate record of your losses. Just take them home and keep them
in a shoebox throughout the year. From now on keep the mindset that horse
racing is your business. Even if you are only going to the rack once or twice a
month something very special could happen (especially since you are
following the advice of not loading up on favorites.) If you are organized and
do these things you will save yourself some major tax problems down the
road. This comes from personal experience!

So keep in mind that pick six morning line favorites consistently lose more
than two out of every three races. We will keep this point on the forefront
because it is very important that you bury this into your memory now and for
all your future pick six races. Those who dont get it in their heads that its a
fact that pick six favorites are going to lose 70% of their races will be losers.
So when you are handicapping be in search for and find some 6-1, 8-1, or
12-1 hidden gems and be proud of your selections when you do. So with the
knowledge you have two out of three times a horse other the favorite is going
to win. Should a horse you select get scratched from one of the pick 6 races
that scratched will be replaced with the race favorite (this is the horse with the
most money wagered on it to win at post time.) Whether its claiming, Maiden,
stakes we will repeat this one more time and that is favorites lose two thirds of
the time no mater what type of race it is.

Lets cover what a $2 pick six is going to cost you at the window. This is
important to know as with your business you want to keep a strict financial
game plan. On the lower tickets lets say $16 to $96 you will have probably 2
races or more on the smaller bets where you will be single them out. This
means that you have a horse whether it be one of your few favorites or another
one that just flat stands out and you are betting him to win. By doing this on
the other races you may have two horses, possibly three that can come in and
your ticket will still be good. Here is an example below from 6 races and how
many selections going from leg A to leg G left to right.
2x1x2x3x2x2
(these are the # of horses selected then you just take that times $2)
So this $2 pick 6 will cost $96 with singling one of the races
Here is another example of the same $96 ticket just framed different:
2 x 1 x 1 x 3 x 4 x 2 x $2 = $96
With two races having single winners it frees the other races for some
multiples.

Selecting legs where you can have only a single horse is definitely something
you want to be in pursuit of but It will require some solid and very confident
handicapping. Instead of trying to find reasons for supporting questionable
favorites to win the race you now are trying to find solid contenders, at longer
odds that have a chance at beating the favorite. You want to be eliminating
false over bet favorites all the time and it will aid you immensely in collecting
monster paychecks!! You truly must know it and understand it to the point that
it becomes a natural of your pick six strategy.
I have become fully convinced that taking the time and effort to study your
selections when making a pick six is an absolute necessity. The minimum pick
6 jackpot you are going to play is $100,000 and you can find this out by
following carryovers. Even with the knowledge you have about the favorites
simply going to the morning line favorites and blindly making selections is
not the way to go. It has been tried and tested leading to failure (although a

good mix is still better than the thousands of pick six failures made by
someone studying and loading up on favorites!) If you are lazy and will be
going to the morning line blindly choosing I have no doubt that this laziness
will cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars in jackpots.
You want to ask some serious questions about the horse you are or are not
selecting. www.horse-racingtips.com will help aid you in this
*When was the last time the horse raced?
*Is it a speed horse or a stretch runner?
*Is it going up or down in class?
*How does its speed figure compare with the other horses?
*What condition is the horse in?
*How is the horse working out?
*What are the times of the races in comparable to its rivals?
Now getting off the paper favorite for another contender will not be easy and
is why we are being repetitive. If you know anything about handicapping
horses you know that this is actually very difficult for almost all of the
handicappers out there. Two or three well picked solid favorites are all you
need on your ticket in the 30/30/40 rule. Handicappers that continue to add or
insure themselves with favorites really do not realize that they are wasting
money and missing out on valuable selections of longer odds horses.
Selecting four or more horses at longer odds can have an enormous impact on
how much money the winners can earn. Learn to hate those overbet favorites!
I currently know that horses at 8-1 or higher odds win about 20% of the races.
Also this is horse racing and I am know that I am no idiot. I have spent a lot of
money and made many mistakes that I continue to learn from daily. In horse
racing its very difficult to claim that you can make money long term in horse
racing and when I read it somewhere else I almost cringe at their concept. In
horse racing handicapping as you have experienced anything can happen at
anytime. There will be the one or two favorites that look like they are a lock in
this world but they will fall short. You have experienced races where you look
at the horse that won and know that if you had to do it over again you would
still pick another horse. I know that I will lose many more times than I win.
You knot that is okay because if you stick with this strategy you are only
looking to win 3% of the time to be completely financially independent.
Thats it!! You will lose and lose with losing streaks but when you nail one of
these (it could be very quick or a little down the road) it will pay you over and
above any losses you incurred to that point. The better you get at

handicapping and making your selections the higher your win ratio will be.
To make playing the pick 6 a major part of your income you must exercise
complete control over your actions and not be irresponsible with your money.
Your key to cashing in a pick six will be your ability to judge the horses
looking for legitimate contending horses, running at higher odds that can hit
that finish line first. Not picking favorites is the hardest and most stressful
thing to do when selecting your pick six. You need to get good to the point that
you are convinced you dont need nasty favorite insurance and two or three
favorites at the very most is all you need. I want you to keep your money and
continue to grow your bank roll. This strategy will help you do just that as
long as you dont deviate from it.
When things are going very well and you land a few nice tickets it is
reasonable to wager a higher amount as long as its a well thought out bet like
you have been taught so far. An interesting play that gives you a decent
chance of hitting another ticket is increasing your wager to $128 and covering
2 selections in each leg. An aggressive wager would be doing this and use the
assumption that no favorites will finish first. This sounds wild but you would
be surprised how often this really does happen. Actually picking zero morning
line favorites arriving at the finish line is better than picking four, five or six.
If this no favorite pick six hits then the payout can be huge!!
A very good play for a modest $32 is to handicap the six races and then select
just two horses that you can confidently pick out favorites or not. In the other
four legs that you have throw out the two morning line picks and then select
two horses in each leg. This fits the mixture that we are looking for and is a
good balanced bet. Keep in mind that favorites are losers and this helps you
distance yourself from false favorites.
Consider playing a $64 ticket on a huge carryover by just selecting two
favorites, four horses at odds 9-2 or lower and five horses you handicapped at
odds of 5-1 or higher. Make sure you single one leg that you really believe in.
Pick two horses each for the other five legs.
Now our goal when teaching you this pick six strategy is for you to become
financially secure. If you consistently follow the advice in this ebook you will
easily be ahead of the game by over six figures using the 3% method. (This is
where you will lose 97 races but win 3 that will pay nice jackpots.) If you
remember the 3% factor that actually makes sense. Okay So this is not a get

rich quick scheme you are telling me that I am going to lose some bets? Yes
this is horse racing and anything can happen maybe you are very lucky and it
will not be 3 out of a 100 but I am trying to be as realistic as possible so you
can grasp it. Now dont start throwing your money away by playing crazy
large wagers. Doing so will have you putting favorites that do not need to be
there on your ticket. This will cost you much more money in the short and
long run.
Here is a short list that you can ask yourself of the favorite and why it might
not live up to everyones expectations.:
* Conditioning~ is the horse in good shape to run today? Did it just come off
of a duel that took a lot out of him?
*Is there a new jockey or trainer change? Is this a negative?
*Is there a bias at this track and does the favorite have a bad post position?
*What is the running style of the horse is it a front runner in a race with a
bunch of other front runners?
You can go on and on refer to www.horse-racingtips.com for more factors to
look into.

How big can the pick 6 jackpots grow too you may ask? Well in 2008 a man
hit a jackpot in New York at Santa Anita for over 3 million!!! Yes that is one
payout to one horse racing handicapper and you can be rest assured he had
these strategies tied into that bet and not loading up on favorites. In 2008 63%
of all the pick 6 racing days had just one or two morning line favorites hit the
finish line!
If you get to the point where you have lost several large wagers in a short
period of time~ ones that make you angry because you really should not have
placed them. Take a short vacation away from the track and reevaluate your
selection, wagering and strategy. Your management of your money is off and
its time to clear your head. Get yourself together and establish another
business plan the make sure you stick to it.
The total number of horses running in the pick 6 races is a very important
factor that needs to be considered. There are days where the number of horses
in the 6 races will go over sixty and times over seventy while others will

average at 57 or so. The fewer the horses the easier it will be for you to
handicap. I would stay away from anything over 63 but 58 is my ideal comfort
zone. If you want to know the odds of you hitting that pick 6 just take the # of
horses in each race and multiply together. The better you get at handicapping
horses and spotting hidden gems along with false favorites the better your
odds will get.
Wagering and winning long term at horse racing handicapping is a difficult
business. There is a big emphasis of not just using the main strategy in this
book but make sure you back it up with some good handicapping skills. Be a
sponge and learn everything you can about picking horses. With time and
experience you should be able to join the ranks of the best pick 6 players in the
world.

So with the knowledge you have in place lets say you did a $32 pick six wager
250 times and just one once for $19000. Would you be ahead?? The answer is
yes you will be up $11000 not bad for a small time handicapper who has not
had the best luck but still managed to hit one ticket. Now this is way under our
3% factor but just throwing a very conservative number at you so we are all on
the right page. That page is you can be financially independent doing this
strategy correctly!!
So you are in the business of handicapping horses and you have the desire,
determination to win, a high degree of self control, and a winners attitude~
welcome aboard! Now you need to make a commitment and the next step is to
sign up for at least a one month online subscription for past performances.
This can be done at www.drf.com or you can also go through
www.brisnet.com which have wide variety of products for your choosing and
while you are at it go to www.racereplays or another site to be able to watch
replays of horse races. You will want to watch the replays of the horses you
handicap in the pick 6. These two products are required handicapping tools.
Out there in the handicapping world you will come across syndicate wagering
clubs. These are clubs that will be betting pick 6 wagers and are composed of

several gamblers who all go in on pick six tickets. They come in a variety of
sizes, shapes, forms, and income. The problem with this is they are trying to
make the group happy about there picks and you know what that means. They
will be loading up on favorites filling up the pick six pools for you and I.
Thank you and stay away from them!
Use your own handicapping when picking your horses. Yes it would be easier
to choose someone elses opinion or go through several other sources and see
what they say then compare them but when it comes down to it this is your
business. You want to get to the point where you do your own handicapping.
There is almost always a track that has a 100K pick 6 opportunity so why ever
play anything under it then. These are the headlines of the horse racing
industry but for some reason even the most common pick 6 handicapper does
not focus on the big races and plays the smaller ones. Go for the Gold!!

When you place your bets watch the pick 3 payouts because the high pick 3
payouts almost always mean a higher pick six payout. Usually several times a
month a new or repeating member of the special 100K pick 6 club hits. The
club is waiting for you to turn your membership in with that $100K payday or
a few to get there. Keep in mind that over 98% of six figure paydays will have
a horse that wins at odds of 8-1 or more. The $100,000 club is a secret club
that a very very small % of pick 6 members make it there. If you dont make it
today just keep trying and we will keep that door open for you.
So there it is you can use the internet and google to find more about horse
racing handicapping and we have provided you with a good source. The world
is your oyster and you really can accomplish an incredible lifestyle in horse
racing. It will require discipline and the only bets to focus on is the pick 6
strategy leave the rest to the minors. Treat this like a business and have a
sound money management plan whether its $32 or $132 tickets start small and
you can work your way up after you have a few in your belt. Play within your
means, stay away loading up on favorites, remember the 30/30/40 strategy,
and stay the course to change your life forever. Your financial independence
awaits you. Brush up on those handicapping skills~ Lets Do this!!!
