What Is A Pick 6 Bet In Horse Racing?

What Is A Pick 6 Bet?

A Pick 6 bet is a type of bet where you choose the winners of six consecutive races, usually at the same horse racing track

It's a challenging and exciting bet, offering high payouts if all six picks win. The punter must correctly predict the winners of all six races in a row.

What Is A Pick 6 Carryover?

A Pick 6 Carryover occurs when no bettor correctly picks all six winners, resulting in a rollover of the pool to the next racing day. 

This creates a growing jackpot, enticing more bettors to participate and increasing the potential payout. The carryover continues until a single ticket wins all six races.

Pick Six Payouts

Pick Six payouts vary, but typically offer life-changing amounts! The minimum payout is often $100,000 but can grow to millions if no one wins, creating a massive carryover pool. 

For example, a $2 Pick Six ticket can win up to $5 million or more, making it a thrilling bet for horse racing enthusiasts!
