Meadowlands Offer 125K Guaranteed Pool On Friday Pick Five
For Meadowlands fans whose resolutions in addition to weight loss and quitting smoking were to go for bigger scores at the track, all they have to do is get involved in the track’s Pick 5 on the first night of racing in 2018, when players will have a guaranteed pool of $125,000 to shoot for Friday evening.
The bet requires a player to correctly select the winners of Races 3 through 7 and has a base wager of 50 cents. Last Saturday’s Pick 5 resulted in a carryover of $28,786, which served as a catalyst for the Big M – in partnership with United States Trotting Association Strategic Wagering – to offer the huge, eighth-of-a-million-dollar pool certainty.
Program pages for all Pick 5 races, as well as the Pick 4 (3 through 11), are now available on the handicapping tab at www.ustrotting.com, courtesy of Track Master.
A big reason why swimming in the Big M’s Pick 5 pool makes sense for the bettor is value. If the final pool is $150,000 ($121,214 in new money), the winners would get back $131,818, a surplus in winnings of over $10,000.
As for the Pick 4, the beauty of a carryover with low takeout is that it potentially turns the odds in favor of the players. Any final Pick 4 pool less than $220,000 would result in the winners receiving more money than was wagered.
