WHAT OUR PLAYERS SAY
sweep – the bettor must pick the winners of four or more successive races. In the US, this is usually called pick four and pick six, with the latter paying out a consolation return to bettors correctly selecting five winners out of six races, and with "rollover" jackpots accumulating each day until one or more bettors correctly picks all six winners.

For the sporting enthusiast there is an added advantage. If you follow the sport passionately, you are likely to have a lot of knowledge that may have escaped the eye of the bookie. They too will have done their research to ensure that they come out with the best odds for them, but they have many sports to contend with. Knowledge of recent injuries, whether the match is being played home or away, indoors or outdoors and the politics behind the scenes are all likely to influence the outcome of a game or a race.
