Product Description
Would a $400,000 Pick 6 paycheck change your life? If you’re consistently losing money at the racetrack, here is your opportunity to turn it all around and become a winner…fast! The name of this game isn’t, “Who knows the most about horse racing or handicapping?” The name of this game is, “Can you win BIG money at the racetrack year after year?” The only way to do so is to become a Pick 6 winner. A repeat Pick 6 winner. Millions of horseplayers simply just don’t “get it.” They are losers. Readers of How to WIN the PICK 6 are going to “get it”. They are going to learn how to stop being losers and how to become winners. They will be pushed, coached and mentored into working responsibly with their racing bankroll. Frittering money away on pick 3’s, exactas, superfectas and super high five’s is not what winners do. Playing those “fun” bets will drain your bank account. Author Steven Kolb launches an assault on his readers to help put an end to their “loser” label. Readers will learn how to turn the tide and become winners. Not just winners: Kolb wants his readers who “get it” to become BIG winners. If you want to be in the Winner’s Circle you’ll need to learn how to play the Pick 6, when to play the Pick 6, where to play the Pick 6 and what to do once you start cashing in on five- and six-figure paychecks. This IS your opportunity! This book can pay for itself, your retirement, AND your house! For information about Author Steven Kolb, visit the publishers website – rhovenpublishing com.

Better than you can possibly expect, April 30 2009

This review is from: How to Win the Pick 6: Horse Racing's Big $$$ Payday (Paperback)
A book on winning money at the track doesn't get any better than this. This is the best book I've read on wagering and winning big at the racetrack. It's 397 pages (not 412), all dedicated to the Pick 6. Not a single past performance or other copied chart. I found it here, but bought it on the publishers web site. Once I started reading it I couldn't put it down. The "bad" - at times wordy and repetitive. The "good" - ideas about making big money that have never been written about. Who ever heard of the 30/30/40 Rule? Or the 3% Solution? He uses terms like "pacifier" and "insurance". He tells you you're a loser (he's right) and then starts to show how to make a steady six-figure income (hint: get off the favorites). P 6 strategies I've never seen. He proves throughout the book that any player can make a winning ticket. He likes to coach (a bit much?). He tells some stories that are literally spellbinding and others that make you feel you're trackside screaming at the horses. There's some witty humor and quotes. His bottom line: there's only one way to get rich at the racetrack; become a repeat P 6 winner. Best chapters are Dumb and Dumbest, The 3% Solution and Frittering. It's a winner and a keeper. Worth every bit of 5 Stars

I won my first Pick 6 from Hollywood Park!, July 19 2009

This review is from: How to Win the Pick 6: Horse Racing's Big $$$ Payday (Paperback)
Actually I was far away at an OTB. I won the Pick 6 at Hollywood for $13K and I didn't even know about it until the next day.In April this year I went for my first time to play the horses. I'm 23. On my very last race I won a $53 exacta. I left $7 ahead and happy. I went again two weeks later and won over $800, primarily from some lucky trifectas. I felt I was going to make a lot of money playing the horses. By the end of May I was down almost $2K and unhappy. Nothing went right and I kept losing.
In June I ordered this book, Exotic Betting and Betting on Horse Racing for Dummies. I will write a review on the other books.
This book saved my skin; literally! I had played some small pick 6 wagers on some random tracks, mostly for $2 or $8 and was never close. After I read this book everything changed. I'm not a handicapper, and don't even try, but that doesn't seem to matter.
He tells you what tracks to play and why. He tells you the recommended field size. What horses to embrace and avoid. I think most important though is that he teaches you a playable plan. A strategy that is many more times likely to win than the average weekend players pick 6. I understand it.
Two year olds and maidens used to scare me. He acknowledges why that is and then shows you how to beat them and use them to your advantage.
All said and done, it's the best book on horse racing. He made me change and made me a winner.
The other reviews mentioned his humor and stories. I thought it would be BS. Wrong! There are funnies that pop up seemingly in every chapter. I wouldn't call all of his "stories" - stories. Some are race recreations done really well. Others are created and he sucks you into the action.
Not much negative. He wants readers to be able to handicap. I've got the basic idea, I just don't enjoy it. He spends equal time with beginners, average players and track regulars. He wants everyone to win, but I think he could have focused more on the intermediate level player.
Great book. It made me a big wad of money and a better horseplayer. I would love to win many more pick 6 jackpots. I would love to win enough pick 6's that I can retire in a few years. I just might do it.

Clear pick 6 logic is good, July 29 2009

This review is from: How to Win the Pick 6: Horse Racing's Big $$$ Payday (Paperback)
In 2001 & 2002 I was part of a 5 man syndicate. We wagered on all sports. Me and 2 other guys handicapped horses when there was money to make. Lot of pick 6's. Won and lost, it's a hard bet. We stoped after a trajedy. I win occasional small scores, but I haven't won anything big since then.I bought the book as soon as I saw it. I expected lots of handicapping tips and stuff you see in other horse books. Very little of that glad to say.
He's been up and down and up. He did lots of wrong stuff. He lets you know but he doesn't dwell on it. What he does is emphasize strategies that work. They work on paper and in my head. I know they will work at the track. Not an if , a when.
After reading the book I have confidence. It's crystal clear what I need to do to win. He writes the truth and isn't afraid to tell how bad you've been playing.
They way he writes makes for a exciting book on horse racing.
It is going to change you and your wagering. And you will laugh at many parts of the book.
If you sit in millionairs row like I once did, or if you struggle everyday, this is the best book.
