The right type of bet can increase handle

Postby Igeteven » Thu Jan 03, 2013 8:37 pm

We all know and thank HP for starting the Pick 5, it increase handle and set records for that particular bet.

What other bet can you come up with that will be a success as the Pick 5.

Any Comments.

ps, this is not easy as one can guess.

Looking back, Hollywood has pioneered many exotic bets over the years.

Not a bad suggestion, however, I would make it 20 cents with a 20 percent takeout.

The TOC would never approve a 17 percent take out.

Lester,

As you may know, I am a founding member of the TOC, and if I approve a 17% take, then it's a 17% take.

We need to start a petition to have Vince return to the TOC.

As far as bets go, I am a long-time proponent of the Penny Pick-All. Which I fondly refer to as the "PPA".

The PPA would be the ultimate players bet..
