Additionally, there are several races with six or seven-horse fields, which are easier to handicap but offer lower payouts. The week began with the Rainbow Pick 6 guarantee of $100,000.

“People love the Pick 6, and I do too,” Avello told PlayFL. “You can aim for a big score without having to invest a lot. You can spend $10 and get 50 combinations. If you want to bet more before the payout day, while the jackpot is building, you can do that too.
“There are many different strategies, and they are affordable.”
