This thread made me do a little research which was actually very helpful for me... I used Pinnacle for most of the year and closed out that account by taking out about a $75 profit (without the rebates probably would have been down a couple hundred for the year). I opened a Bris account in October and LOVE the account history feature. I started digging through it and came up with the following stats/results:

In almost 2 months I have wagered a little over $1,700 and have a profit/loss of +$32 - that's pretty darn close to breaking even... not bad. I bet primarily on Bay Meadows and Mountaineer but had a few bets on almost every other track.

The stats I thought were interesting were the following:

At Bay Meadows, I had a win % of 29.95% with a $1 R.O.I. of $1.17 - obviously my best track (the thing that really jacked up my % was when Baze was going for the record - for the week before, his horses were going off at insanely low odds so the winning horses were having great payoffs).

My best stats overall are a win % of 33% for W/P bets and a $1 R.O.I. of $1.06 for Pick 3 bets... I was really weak with pick 4's and trifectas and I know that's because I just don't go deep enough... also, I really sucked at Aquaduct this year - I won ONE bet out of 50, but that cause I did too many p3/p4 without going deep enough.

The great thing about this is it's made me realize what my betting strengths and weaknesses are - I do pretty good picking a winner, and do ok picking three in a row, but other exotics are not good for me - I'm just too cheap to go deep enough to make it worth while.
