Cross Country Pick 4

[davew]

Two big races at Santa Anita and two big races at Gulfstream.

$500K guaranteed - this Saturday

Do you think this bet will take off? will it continue to other tracks?

I did like the Magna 5.

Zero takeout, and if you play on Xpressbet, you get 4x bonus points.
Good deal all round :ThmbUp:

Actually the takeout is 23.68%, the 0% is on Xpressbet only where they can give a bonus credit back up to $500 for the takeout portion on any winning tickets. Somewhat annoyed that when 2 tracks are involved they of course go with the pick 4 takeout rules for the higher one, and then only give customers a break if they use the wagering company owned by the same conglomerate. If not for the super fine print on Xpressbet's website, I would've assumed GP would be the host track for this wager as their races start the sequence. The guaranteed pool is a nice start, a lower takeout would be most appreciated though.

I stand corrected....zero takeout too good to be true.
If I like the races, I'll play on xpressbet, but likely I'll pass.

Is this a .50 cent or buck play?

$68.25 for fifty cents.

Small payoff, but had to be good compared to a parlay.
That would have paid less than half that - $26.45.

I see the pool size listed as 500k in the DRF chart of the race, assume this means they came up short of the guarantee. Any idea where to find how much the actual handle was? This might've been one reason for the solid payoff compared to the parlay totals.

Pool Total: $472,922

according to xpressbet - but can not find results there

I miss the Magna 5
