If you bet only $100, you are already paying $18-20 in admission...but everybody seems to forget that. Let's just keep tacking on more and more.

This was the best comment in the whole discussion.

If I go and wager in a casino on a slot machine and bet $100 the casino will get an average of $5 pending on the game. If I bet $1000, which is my typical handle if I was to go to the races for an entire day, its $50.

If I go to the races they get $200 on average.

One is free and the other is charging, you would think its reversed on the who.
