Horse racing and its archaic ways
of figuring payouts. But at least this
is one uniformity, or fairly uniform, from track to track.

It also is a nice little Vegas type slot
bells and whistles ploy (even if unintended)

A 200K payout sounds a hell of a lot better.
Walk around any OTB and you hear people
constantly saying did you see that payout
for that tri... did you see that payout for
that pik 4... Lotto stuff.

ouch.

Actually, I was kid'n.

Ok then, that was me stubbing my toe.
