Question on Daily Doubles

[Maji]

What are the tracks that have rolling daily doubles?

Also which ones in the above have decent pool sizes? Are there any particular rules of thumb that one should follow when trying out the daily doubles?

Thanks for your help.

Southern California tracks have rolling Doubles and Rolling Pick 3's, which as far as I'm concerned, all tracks should have.

Delaware Park has rolling DDs.

Thanks for your replies.

I know the pools for Hollywood Park are nice sized. How are the other pools?

Thanks.

The paradigm is that bigger pools are better. This may hold if you are playing two horses with 20:1 odds because the pool size will give you a chance to receive a fair payment. At the other end I would not play two horses with 20:1 odds because I will almost certainly be shortchanged.

However, my own experience is that the small pools, particularly ones with $2 minimum are unpredictable and offer good value when betting horses other than the favorite. For example, I hit a DD at Sun last year with a 6:1 and a 3:1 which paid more than $600. Another experience at CT was not too different. Bigger is not always better.

Yeah, I used to bet into the HPI pools, some of which were very small. Unless you're looking to "big time it", those small pools are real interesting.
