Sort of off subject a bit.....
At the Los Al thoroughbred meet that concluded today, the min wager for the P-4 was raised to $1.00 from .50.
I'm curious if the handle for the P-4 went up or down noticeably...……..I would guess the handle went down.
In the past when tracks have lowered the min's on their multi-slotted wagers the handle has always gone up.
It might be a bit of a tricky read because Calif overall handle has gone up in the last year.
In terms of the .50 mins on P-3's and such, I always thought the reduced number brought in more chalkish type players...….strictly a guess,and I'm not really sure what that would mean for payoffs.
Maybe if the wager had three non double digit winners the under-pay would appear.
But if three healthy priced winners kick in I would guess the payouts would be more than fair.
