So the takeout rate is 80 cents for every $1 base wager. That is the max takeout before considering the added value of the seeded funds.

Hope that helps.

Thanks,

We're on the same page. I'm only contending that the effective takeout for the show pool is 36%. In other words if there was no jackpot carryover, 80% would be paid out to the show pool. Because 20% after takeout goes to the carryover the return to the show pool becomes 64%.

$0.80 Jackpot 5 Show 5,9,10/4,5,9/5,8-10/1,4,7,8,12,13/1,6,10 5 of 5 $155.36
Nice payoff accelerated by Marketing Mix getting nosed for 3rd in the second leg. A $1 show parlay was roughly $20 using the lowest payouts in each leg.

Would be more enticing if the used stakes races on major circuts on the weekends. I have no interest personally in buying pp's to handicap 1 race at Indiana Downs or La Downs.

PPs are free for the Jackpot 5. Handicapping LAD ain't that bad either.

155-1 on a Show Pick 5 seems pretty good to me. You are right that Marketing Mix was the key to getting a nice payoff.
