I've never played one since.
I don't think I'd play Pick3s in Europe; it's quite difficult to win one in a row there.

At some U.S. tracks the Pick3 is a fantastic bet. I usually select two horses per leg for an eight dollar investment.

This is anecdotal, but last Sunday I hit the first Pick3 at Aqueduct. It paid $595 for a two dollar investment. So, I got half of that for my $8. Hard to disregard that kind of return.
