It appears Pacer2 isn't smart enough to understand that online wagering pays back about 2-3% to the track and on track wagering returns 10% or more....if you do the math tracks don't wager enough to cover the cost of purses or operating cost. If not for the blood money there would be no money to cover the cost of racing....aka harness racing welfare
This site attracts a lot of small minded people like Pacer, Rainman, Gagoots
Opening Day at Plainridge was thriving! At least 2 people not associated with the sport directly knew about this day. At least! The total combined handle was $161,212.27, as per USTA charts. The total purses paid out.....$168,000. The handle in its entirety did not cover the purses. Thriving!
If only octopuses were raining and driving the horses. This shit might stand a chance then!One of my favorite stories, and as the young kids say no cap, deadass.In high school, long before I knew what harness racing was, there were "those" kids that were in "that" wing of the building. Basically the speds and specials. Flash forward 10 years. The only person from my high school involved in harness racing was from that wing and was actually reasonably successful in the business. Octopuses to the rescue!
