There were no winning tickets sold on the 20-cent Pick-6 last Saturday, creating a carryover of $7,689 for Friday’s Meadowlands program. These are the type of scenarios multi-leg players love. In the event $40,000 of “new money” is bet into the pool, only that portion of the total pot would be subject to the already low 15 percent takeout.
Thus, if $40,000 is the number, the total pool would be just over $41,000, precisely $1,000 more than what was wagered, creating a “negative takeout”, where winning tickets will pay out more money than what was wagered.
The Pick-6 is offered on races eight through 13 nightly.
One more big night
After the Kindergarten finals this Saturday, The Meadowlands will have one more monster night at the races before settling in for five months of winter action, when Fall Final Four/FanDuel Championships Night takes place on Saturday, Nov. 30.
“We are in the midst of a great run here at The Meadowlands,” said track Chief Operating Officer and General Manager Jason Settlemoir. “We came back from our five-week layoff with two weeks of Breeders Crown action, then, last week and this, the Kindergarten, and then, we’ll dole out over $2.5 million in purses on Fall Final Four/FanDuel Championships Night three weeks from Saturday. It is a great time for all harness fans to be watching and wagering on our races, as many of them will determine divisional honors.”
