Horseplayers who are genuinly interested in the future of the sport from a betting perspective should be playing the Ellis 4% even if they have no interest in that track or those particular horses.
Every $100 you bet at Ellis is a $4 investment in future lower takeout. That's all it will cost you in the long run, even if you throw darts at the PP's.

The response has been tremendous- they have been averaging almost 3X the old pools, not to mention more exposure in the other pools.
Hopefully Laurel gets the same.
