I'm not making a judgement. Everyone is free to make whatever deal works for them. But I don't understand how you got screwed.
This is part of the problem that has
brought racing down. It is in essence parasitic.
The track puts on the show, they should get
a piece of the pie. I guess the fed. gov. played a role
in pushing the money out to these spots.

This situation has been replayed so many times...
drugs, etc... I never took economics but I think
I have some concept of markets. People like to bet.
Dont drive it away. We cannot save people from
themselves.
