just a thought

not a bright thought

on the breakage.....when they round down....like when it really pays $2.39 digitally..they payout $2.20

every track eveyrday all year rounding down adds up to millions and millions in the hands of TVG,Twinspires,Xpressbet

not your best though by far

Its amazing how all newcomers that go to the dining room with group parties get into the table show parlays and have a load of fun for a small investment....... ..I guess for that only we should keep show betting.
Come with me to the "Darkside",its a matter of life or death!!

If you don't have WIN PLACE AND SHOW you do not have horse racing.

Can't be serious with that thought.

You want to save the sport, not destroy it.

Fixed odds would have been a better thought.

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.

Tracks should get the French to bet on their races, they don't have Place wagering, only win and show pools

There is one and only one thing all bad gamblers are looking to do.

They are looking to lose.
