The biggest problem the sport has had for a very long time

You're spot on, Doug, but I don't know that it'll ever get any better. There's an incredible preference, in business and politics, to favor short-term over long-term planning. Yes, reducing the takeout would attract more betting money over the long term, but how to persuade the powers that be that the long-term growth is worth the short-term loss with a reduction in takeout?

So frustrating.
