"hilarious" is not the word I'd choose. I'd call it tragic. Horseplayers will get what they deserve for not supporting this 4% Pick-4--we can expect a future of unrelenting high takeout. Anyone suggesting that lower takeout will result in significantly higher pools will be laughed at.

I'm continuing to put between $200-$400 daily into the Ellis Pick-4 pools in the faint hope that the rest of the racing community will wake up. If everyone on this site alone pitched in the last couple of weeks (closing day is Sept 3), maybe something can still be salvaged for the future.
