I love the artical, but I am not a loser, or am I broke.

It's article. And he is doing nothing more than stating the facts. In fact, this is a hard game to beat. In fact, the takeout makes it even tougher. In fact, most of the players do lose money.
I really liked the article or atleast the angle of the ideas. Racing needs to realize that what they get now from the racing is next to nothing. They wouldn't do badly to cut it further and might not lose a cent based on increased volume. I am also a fan of the bonus for on-track bettors. It would give you a reason to come out to the track.
Last thought, why in the hell would struggling tracks, like the ones in Maryland, still charge for parking and entrance. All it does is keep people away. Have you ever paid to enter a casino?
