Pick 3/4/5/6 bets require selecting winners of consecutive races. Cost = product of selections in each race × stake. A $0.5 Pick 4 with 2×3×2×4 horses costs 2×3×2×4 = 48 combinations × $0.5 = $24. These bets often have carryover pools creating massive payouts.
| Structure | Combos | $0.50 | $1 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1×1×1×1 (all singles) | 1 | $1 | $1 |
| 1×2×1×2 | 4 | $2 | $4 |
| 2×2×2×2 | 16 | $8 | $16 |
| 1×3×2×4 | 24 | $12 | $24 |
| 2×3×2×3 | 36 | $18 | $36 |
| 3×3×3×3 | 81 | $41 | $81 |
Pick N bets require selecting the winners of N consecutive races. Pick 3 covers 3 races, Pick 4 covers 4, etc. Your $0.50 ticket wins if all your selections win their respective races.
Cost = (selections in leg 1) × (selections in leg 2) × ... × stake. For a Pick 4 with 3, 2, 4, 2 horses: 3 × 2 × 4 × 2 = 48 combinations. At $0.50 each = $24 total.
When no one picks all winners, the unclaimed pool "carries over" to the next day, creating massive jackpots. Some Pick 6 carryovers reach six or seven figures. Check track websites for current carryover amounts.
Singling (using one horse in a leg) dramatically reduces cost. A $0.50 Pick 4 with 1×3×1×4 costs just $6 vs $18 for 3×3×1×4. Single your strongest opinions and spread the competitive races.
If a race is canceled, your Pick N becomes a Pick N-1. A Pick 4 becomes a Pick 3, etc. The "all" button is sometimes used for scratch insurance to include all horses in a leg.
