Monmouth Pick 5 Carryover

[cnollfan]

Monmouth has a $40k carryover in the Pick 5 today (Sunday 7-17-16). Monmouth has two Pick 5s, one begins in Race 1 and one in Race 6. Does the carryover apply to just one, or is it split equally, or ?

Never mind, found it on their website. It applies to the first race.

As I understand it, nobody hit the early Pick 5 yesterday so the carryover applied to the late Pick 5, but when rains moved the last race off the turf after betting had commenced they turned the last race into an ALL and postponed applying the carryover. I can see how that would be annoying to bettors who bought a larger ticket than normal thanks to the supposed carryover, but not sure there is an equitable solution.

You beat me to it, I was going to make a similar post. You are right, since it wasn't hit it got moved to the next one. I was wishing it would carry again to play it today, and then saw the surface switch for the last race. I would have been fuming if I played and was still alive. Esp if I wagered a lot into it and had the carry moved. No rain today!

Seems like a silly rule since the bettors were told that there was a carryover into the Saturday late pick 5, but I checked and that is the NJ Racing Commission rule.

I have a Math question.

If one hits the P5 with or without a carryover and odds being identical, will the big carry help my ticket, hurt my ticket, or make no difference as proportions are proportions?

P5 :1: :4:
R1 :4: :5:
R2 :4:
R3 :1: :2: :3: :5: :6:
R5 :1: :3: :4: :5: :6: :7: (this is an ALL w/ :2: SCRATCHED)

Did the big carryover benefit at all? I should know this.

That's a two-sided question.

Logically, the big carryover will help your payout, since that's money without any live tickets representing it.

The downside is that people know about the carryover and will invest more money into the pools to try to hit it, and most of that money bet is "smart."

Overall, it probably helps, but not always directly proportional to the carryover amount.

the not applying the carryover rule is awful. Yes I played a large ticket because of the carry...no I didn't hit. Wouldn't have touched the thing without the carry
