I took a poll at YR about it last night and not too many people were interested. They said why should I be penalized if I'm not at the track the next night or I'm busy. After taking an unscientific poll in my opinion the only time the handle will increase dramatically is when the syndicates get in looking to sweep it up. The average to above average bettor will probably ignore it if it's a 75% carryover.

Any opinions?

I wish I could handicap like I fish.

IMO - I play few pk4's - usually when I like a bomb in one of the legs I will give it a shot or if there is a carry over. Pk3's are similar I have to like something long in one of the 3 legs. Pk 5 I will probably only wager when there is a carry over sufficient enough to to increase the reward for the risk
