Ok Phil I see what you are saying and I get THAT equation just fine.
But the thread started with a post that said handle was up 19% without specifying whether it was a daily average or overall increase based on the previous meet's total handle. Do you see what I am saying?
In other words, if the handle was only up 19% for the meet TOTAL and not on an average basis, then its tragic. If its up 19% daily, then its good and in line with what you would expect with turf racing returning.
And you may hate turf racing but you must realize that you are the exception rather than the rule. Any track will tell you the more turf racing they have the better their numbers do.
Could someone please post the link as to teh exact numbers here, as I think Euro misstated or didn't clarify in his post what 19% increase in handle means.
WHen I read it stated like Euro wrote it, I think 19% overall boost in total handle. he didn't state that it was a daily average stat. Which is another thing altogether and would make my previous numbers completely invalid.
