I understand it. And I am still not seeing where the traction will come from.

It's a stupid bet.
$2 to win $4 and you get three bombs. Might as well bet each to win. If you can't afford to lose $6 why are you wasting time on the game.

So is it basically acting like an automatic ditching bet?

Opening day at Santa Anita the tellers couldn't explain the bet and they struggled to even punch the ticket. As dumb as the Jackpot. New players are a bit confused anyway why create something that makes no sense.

(I haven't read up on the rules or taken more than a superficial glance)It seems like it may be equivalent to dutching pre-selected groups of horses, in a 3 or 4 horse/interest parimutuel pool without the requisite accompanying significant reduction in takeout.
Right now there's a popular business idea going around that involves making products simple and intuitive, in order to broaden the market. One of the big obvious leaders is the video game industry. Wii came out with very simple, intuitive controllers. Now microsoft had that wonderful, touching Super Bowl commercial introducing their simple, intuitive controllers.
So everyone wants in on the action, and it's a popular idea in board-rooms and class rooms galore.
Cut it to 4%? takeout or so, and it has potential among the elderly and the casual casino-oriented fan.
As-is it is destined to die, or like the 'grand slam'; fade away into bolivian.

I think they could offer it at a 0% takeout and it still wouldn't get any momentum.

Wednesday Feb. 13
Gulfstream 7th race
Total wagering was $791,000
Roulette pool = $25
What more needs to be said, about this absurd wager?

If you don't like micro pools, don't play them. Greyhound races occasionally have place or show cashers with no dollars in that position.

How about we have another bet, where we set an over-under on the roulette pool and bet on that?

$102 on the Roulette in race 11...out of an $808,000 total mutuel pool. So...things could be looking up for the wager.

Instead of this why don't they have odds for who finishes last and an exacta for the last two horses. Or you could have twin exactas, first two horses and the last two horses.
