A lot of people choose to bet Football with bookmakers -- despite the 4.5% takeout involved with that. Of course, Pinnacle came around and made itself king of the gambling websites by undercutting that with -- in some cases - just a 2.25% takeout on major sports.

I wonder how long it's been since the last time two buddys bet each other head-to-head on a first-time starter VS a maiden who was drubbed 13.5 lengths last time out?

18% takeout + breakage is almost a 20% takeout.

Del Mar's 10% takeouts on head-to-head typically ends up with an 11.6% takeout after breakage.
