Hopefully Laurel gets the same.

I hope they are happy with that 3X, Phil. I find the numbers uninspiring. My $300-$400 bets are 1 to 1.5% of the pool, and I don't even like betting Pick-4s. In fact, I don't think I've ever bet a Pick-4 before this 4% takeout.
There was over $20 million bet on horseracing in the US yesterday. Those bets were all made into pools with 15% to 25% or more takeout. But the one bet which could have a dramatic impact on the future of betting could only attract $36,970 worth of interest. I think some of that other $19.96 million could have been better spent on the 4% Pick-4.
