Obviously if the tote system was upgraded, the bet would draw more dollars. But as I have said before and as everyone knows, NO ONE MAKES CHANGES IN THIS INDUSTRY UNLESS THEY HAVE UNDENIABLE PROOF THAT THE CHANGE WON'T RESULT IN A TEMPORARY PROFIT LOSS WHICH WOULD RESULT IN THEM LOSING THEIR JOB.

And so, we are stuck with 24 betting interests...unless they implement my plan or one of the others.
There is only one certainty in this industry, if you an exec at CDI you wont be around long anyway
