no wonder why this industry is heading where it is. I especially like the part in this article where it talks about wagering sites are encouraging their customers to bet on low level tracks like hawthorne, finger lakes and charles town.

The providers are absolutely right. Take a risk at a low level track, you'd be surprised at what you can take home. I know "mayphjr" makes his living up in Minnesota like that, playing Cantebury, Zia, the Mountain, Finger Lakes, etc

This is not to toot my own horn, or to highlight my own local track...but I played the Suffolk Downs P4 yesterday, $60 ticket. I hit it, pay out for a dollar, $1960. Prices for the winners in the P4 sequence:

-$4.00
-$17.20
-$9.40
-$10.40

So, basically odds on, 7-1 or so, 7/2, and 4-1. Those aren't tough prices to find, even for less than seasoned 'cappers. The money making chances are not limited to the big tracks at all. Some of those low level places, like Suffolk, can sometimes provide some serious value.
