I'm for as many wagering options as possible as long as pool size doesn't suffer too much. . .

The rolling double works for me when I get kicked out of the pick four in the second or third leg, or if I have a strong opinion on consecutive races, but not on a third or fourth in a row.

I think that they are a good idea. The hard-core players will continue to bet the pick 3's and 4's. But this might be good for the novice/weekend warriors that do not have the bankroll or the time to handicap 3-4 races ahead of time. Overtime maybe some of these people will like the multi race wagers and starting trying pick 3's 4's and 6's.

I like them, I find it's a good way to keep money in your pocket. Alot of times if I really like a horse I will play a $40-$50 DD to a horse i like and that saves me from making a $200-300 win bet. But of course you have to put 2 winners together which is easier said than done. also can find some value with a big fav in a small field, where as the inter-race wagers ( exactas & tris ) there is none.
