Once the carryover reaches the 7 figure mark, the bet has been paying well over the parlay. Yesterday, parlay+50% despite short fields and tough favorites. Today, 3X the parlay. Sunday, 2X the parlay.
considering that takeout on the win bet is applied 6x to a parlay, i think you might be setting a low bar for determining what constitutes a good return.

i'm not against this bet in any manner. it doesn't appear to have cannibalized handle elsewhere. if people want to have fun with it, i'm all for that.

but whatever favorable return you think you see now, how much greater is it going to be when instead of holding out 40%, you're getting all that held back money added in?

for me, anticipating the last day is a lot more fun than tossing money at it now.
