I would look at every So. Cal race - each racing day - if they had a 15% takeout on doubles.
It would obviously increase the amount of money I bet on the So. Cal circuit big-time ... and it's not going to change how much I bet elsewhere.
For the TOC to draw a line in the sand over that is pretty lame. They're "willing" to give-up half of the takeout increase ... and they say that like they're bargaining for their own betterment or something.
It's almost like they want the handle to suffer as much or more than they wanted the purse increase. I guess if the handle suffers -- it helps them in their quest to get Internet Poker or whatever else they want from the state politicans.
