I’m definitely younger then the average harness fan. My betting has gone down more then 90% this year, I typically bet strictly WEG, But with short fields, terrible racing & I’ve never watched suck little racing from there in my life as opposed to this year.

20-30 years ago my average bet was $40-$60. Now, although my net worth has increased maybe 5 fold, my usual bet is $1-$3. I wonder how many other bettors have reduced their betting likewise?
