No comparison...
Larger pools +++
angles work consistently
no 1-9 shots every race
no driving for 2nd money (most of the time)
Less BS with the high purses
I used to bet harness and held my own
now it is pretty much a joke...
small pools and the only way u can win is be on the
inside and know when they stiff
which they know and you dont
If I could be a book I would take everyones harness money
I know 25 big players all quit and now bet t Breds and sports
There is a big difference in being a t-bred bettor and owner!
Bettors get the opportunity to make $$$ at the windows, while the owners need to make enough purse money just to survive in the business. Add to the fact that t-breds race approximately once a month if they're lucky!
Look at the Linda Rice scandal a while ago.
The t-breds do a better job of 'covering up' their internal problems than the standardbred people.
