Title: Meadowlands fears about the minus pools
Post by: stanetelman on June 29, 2024, 08:54:47 AM
Saturday June 29
No show wagering on races 2, 3 and 6
Not a good way to help the handle

According to Mike Antonaides the program director,  Jeff doesn't want the risk of the minus pools!

Would lose their ass on Karl.  Someone might bet a million on that show bet.

Have no business in carding 5 horse fields. Maybe they should fill those races with more "Turn and Burn" races! Or maybe a Camel race?

They are stake races only have so many options on field size

Agree but why run them on your regular card as betting races?

And why not??  The first 2 are very competitive for win bettors

Ok..What value does running these 5 horse fields have regarding betting pools? Make them non betting early races. All they do is generate minus pools!

If you believe you are going to get a minus pool. Put your $100k in the win pool

For me I’ll be watching the pools and odds and take a shot at a decent price winner

I'm smart enough NOT to risk 100K for 5 cents on the dollar!. I like my money too much!

So why do you care if they scrap the show pools?

Huge money in the place pool on Karl!  Almost $150k more than the rest of the field combined!  And still time to get more!

Actually surprised they allowed place wagering.

Meadowlands cancelled show wagering in an 8-horse field.
That's fear.
Fear of Karl.

duh--the bridgejumpers just moved to the place pool

if there indeed was fear-Karl would have been barred from the wagering like Niatross was several times

In the end, place was not a minus-pool.
Show undoubtably would have been.

you are a dope

place pool had $178k

Karl had $159k and Bright Star had $4500

Because if it had been, Bright Star would have paid $2.10.

89% of the place pool went on Karl.  That's not minus-pool territory.  95% plus is.
Arithmetic.

obviously you arent aware of net pool pricing

they all dont pay $2.10 anymore

that ended in 2001

Bright Star bettors received $9k
Karl bettors received approximately $168k

after takeout--who came up with the extra cash to pay these off you idiot?
