In response to your #1 there. Do you think McDonald’s is going to use better beef because you don’t like their burgers?  No they will keep their recipe the same and you can go to Wendy’s. Will Wall Street give you a better price on stocks because you are a minority player? No. They will cater to the big investors. Same with any other industry. When you buy a vehicle do you get the same price as someone buying 1000 in fleet vehicles. Absolutely not

My point is that mcdonalds will never ever disregard your feedback with total disdain and then tell you to go to wendys. That's exactly what racing does. Racing despises the people who gamble on their product and have no problem telling you that your feedback is totally unwanted and to take your business elsewhere.

Have they ever changed their process due to your complaints?

If McDonalds had too many complaints about a certain product they would drop it from their menu.

Of course. Every successful business I've ever been associated with scrutinizes critical client feedback/complaints, find themselves and Implements improvements to adhere to our clients. It is absolutely critical. Humongous financial resources are dedicated to it. It is critical to any viable business. This is the real business world. Racing does it the opposite way and fails year after year after year

Of course they would. Or change it to accommodate what their customers want. Racing is very bizarre.

I was watching the pools last night. I think it was either the 3rd or 4th race. When the race started there was about 13k in the win pool. At the 1/4 pole there was 25k.
When they hit the 1/2 there was over 40k in the win pool. Can someone explain to me why is there such a lag in closing the pool. Are the computer wagers being bet after the race has started? After watching that I really lost interest in playing. Mind you I'm not a big bettor but I feel for people who bet bigger thinking as the race starts how the odds can dramatically change.
