Yonkers STILL doesnt have a consolation for 4 of 5 in pick 5

To each his own.  But the smartest gamblers want their money in when there is +EV or damn close to it... which is the carryover pool.   And whatever makes the C/O higher, I'm all for.  I know New Jersey pays 4/5, at least Monmouth.

Meadowlands and Monmouth pay 4/5 on every pick 5 no matter if 5/5 is hit or not. Gulfstream does that same.

I think that's taking it a little far but given they pay four out of five. Even when someone hits four out of five. You can see why it would make sense to pay four out of five. If no one hits five out of five because that means it was incredibly difficult to get 5 of 5. So even hitting 4 of 5 would have been quite a feat. And it should at least get something.

Saratoga Harness is the same way....so I found out the hard way last year. I played a ticket close to 100.00 and landed a 5-1,10-1 and 40-1 in the sequence only to fall short and hit 4/5. Of course nobody hit the pick 5 pool of about 6k.  I surely thought I would have gotten a healthy consolation for picking 4/5 but nada, nothing, zilch. From that point on I have never placed a bet with Saratoga Harness. Never again. My fault for not knowing the rules of the bet though.

I feel your pain the same thing happened to me at Yonkers a year ago. I had three. $40 horses in one sequence $40 horses in one sequence And I actually hit four out of five and got nothing and I actually think I was the only one to even have three out of five. It was my fault for not knowing the rules I guess. But since then I haven't played it.

Meanwhile you have a $203,727 late pick 5 carryover at Gulfstream on Thursday which might hit close to $1 million with new money.

And what did four out of five pay? Obviously the carryover wasnt hurt by them paying before out of five.

Oh look, a harness track that gets it exactly right. No carryover for 4/5. Complete payout.

Not bad a thousand dollars for a $0.20 bet. That goes To show how hard it is to hit four out of five certain nights and that it should definitely be rewarded.
