The Pick 8 is a new wager replacing the survivor bet.
https://playmeadowlands.com/news_post/kleinhans-hoping-for-great-pick-8-at-big-m/ (A few blurbs below)
“Hi all, I just wanted to call attention to a new bet that I’m sponsoring at the Meadowlands,” said Kleinhans, harness racing’s jack of all trades, on Facebook. “It is my hope that this Pick-8 seeded with $50,000 will lead to historically high carryovers and something entirely new for the horse players and fans to be excited about. The bet will start on February 6th. Please have fun, support this bet, and I hope you win big!”
Kleinhans is hoping to give the harness game a shot of adrenaline with the Pick-8, and has committed to seeding the pool four times.
If no one hits for an extended period of time, there will be a cap of 25 carryovers before there is a mandatory payout.
Pool to be seeded with $50,000
$1 minimum bet
Wager to be offered on races 3-10
If a player picks all eight winners and possesses the only ticket, they take the entire pool. If there are multiple winners, the pool will be split among those with eight correct
When the bet is not hit, 25 percent of the pool will be paid out to those with the most winners, with 75 percent of the pool carrying over

Interesting wager....... I'm not sure how much I'll play into, at least a few dollars,
I definitely like the $50k seeding! Intrested what the takeout rate is??? Not fond of the $1 minimum.
Reminder 1st post is 6:00, Good Luck!!

5k in the pick 8 pool
Nobody goes 8/8 so they pay out 25% of the seed and the carryiver is less for next racing night than the seed tonight.
Total disaster

LOL correct...carry for sunday is 40k....and if they wager another 5k fresh money sunday...total pool will be 45k and they'll pay 25 percent (11k and change) to the most winners...resulti ng carryover for next friday will be 33k and change...A DWINDLING CARRYOVER!!!!
peter kleinhans marketing idea is worse than his dangerous driving on a racetrack,,,stick to the stock market goof

I was wondering the same thing. You are advertising a carryover that will likely never reach astronomical figures as they'd hoped. But I'd also like to think that there will be more than 5k new money wagered into it.

They mention he made his money in the stock market? I thought I read that his parents were VERY VERY WEALTHY and he was left money. Does anyone know the facts?
Thought he has a music career too—sharp guy, been in the business a long time.

Where is the CAW money?

Well, they changed the bet, so that the 25% pay out is from the new money only, not the total pool.......
Which is the way I thought it worked originally and seems logical.
Kind of like Mohawks Pentafecta bet only pays out 25% if there is more than 1 winner. (I know it's not exactly the same thing, but it builds pools)

Where did you see this change?
Just yesterday Dave Little wrote about the bet being a smashing success.
He also quoted the $0.20 payoff prices which were reflected on the feed. Who was able to make $0.20 wagers? Not me. It was $1 for me

It will never reach the numbers he thinks, for the CAW's will hit it.

Will never know unless they get someone in there to run it who has a basic understanding of how to operate a wagering system

i like the initiative, its worth a try
not sure why the guy has to put in his own money ??
regardless they have tweaked it so the carryover grows
i think a pick 7 would have been better
and please do not whine about the $1 base
this be is for real gamblers with money, not people with $50 to spend on the whole card betting $.20 tri

Who cares at least it’s something else to chase and take a shot to have action .

Agree. But would t it be nice if they properly explained the payout rules and minimum bet denomination?
They might not be able to cause they clearly dont understand the wager themselves

“We understand there was some confusion over the first night’s payout,” said the Meadowlands’ COO/GM Jason Settlemoir. “We wanted to make it clear to all of our customers exactly how the initial $50,000 seed money was classified. Moving forward, standard carryover rules apply to this PK8 wager. We hope to see this new wager catch on with our customers.”

And who exactly caused the confusion? Certainly not settlemoir or his team correct?
What a clown show

Pick 8 takes more action this week, 14k in new money, (only 5k last week) but two people hit 8 of 8 winners for $26,500 each.
-
Good to see 2 winners, Pete Kleinhans can put up a fresh $50k tonight! tmbz1

The payout was 3 times what a $1 parlay on those 8 races would have paid ($8775.38).
