Racing commissions are financed with breakage on place and show...show quiniellas would be much better but show is here to stay.

I’ve thought for years..... somehow find a way to send simulcast signals on a regular basis overseas.... there would be a HUGE influx of monies being brought into the sport.  England... Australia...Asia. ... as many as you can find.  Beats the hell out of relying on the Casino stipend...

Yes.

The people who are against you here basically want to keep a wager that can result in 70% takeout.

Before any takeout payoff: $2.69
After 17% Takeout: $2.39
After Breakage: $2.20.

Instead of making $0.69, you make $0.20.



Thank you, Sir

for a most accurate explanation....ev en using the $2.39 to $2.20 example

Sheldon just sometimes is way off base
