Magna 5 carryover
 

I apologize if I am repeating a thread, but how is the carryover going to work? Is Magna going to add another $500k to the existing $370+ carryover? or is the carryover merely lessening the amount they have to come out of pocket to guaranty the pool?

Magna is not putting any money into the pool. The pool is already $370k plus and I am sure people are going to bet into that pool to get it over $500k. Magna hasn't added any money at all this year to the Magna Pick 5.

Yes, it's a guaranteed 500K, but the handle is usually close to that.
Last week, they paid around $1800 to anyone with 4 of 5, and carried over the 370K.
Although they don't have some of the featured national races like they had last week, I would imagine the pool being around 900K.

Just checked the Magna 5 website.
The pool has ranged from $502,000 - $645,000 from week to week.
Last week's was $645K (I'm sure due to the Santa Anita Handicap and the Fountain of Youth being included).
Let's hope the races they choose this week make it playable.

The pool this week approaches 1 million, I guarantee you. They'll bet at least 550k into it and there's what, 337k in the carryover? Huge Magna 5 pool last week made Santa Anita have to kick in the difference for the Pk 6 guarantee.

I am excited about this wager, alot like the NTRA National Pick 4, just a bit weaker. I am sure that it will be well over $1 million...

The 2 Anita races aren't bad at all.

Just glanced at the Magna, and it looks playable.
One interesting angle for Santa Anita on Saturday is that Nakatani and Gomez are both at the Fairgrounds.
Looks like Espinoza and/or Mig could have a big day.
