Belmont new $3 late pick 3

[Alabama Stakes]

So if the takeout on the bet was. 15% would you be more likely to bet it ? Since your interested in betting into a bigger pool, it would be be a much bigger pool. Or is that too hypothetical for you ? Or are you saying that the same amount will be bet no matter the takeout ?

I will watch what it pays for awhile and make my decision. Not going to dive into say a 10% takeout just cause it is 10%. **** they have a Pick 6 at Parx and it could be 0% takeout and I wouldn't touch it. Pools are pitiful. Remember I hit an 80K spilt on that horrible Jackpot Pick 6 at Gulfstream when the pot was over 5 million. I want to add that I used to be a big Pick 5 player but over the last couple years I am seeing less and less 5 figure pays. I rarely play anymore. Just win and doubles and Head to Head on Horse Tourney's. Where I can win if I have a good day or just a better day than my opponent.

What Im trying to figure out is when they are sitting around throwing ideas out there, who is the one who says “ this is a good idea, what should we do on the takeout for the bet?” Who is the guy who says “ let’s have a lower takeout like on the NYRA Bets pick 5. And who is the dick who overrules him and says ****thebettors let’s have a big high 24% takeout and we will get a much bigger piece of the pie . Where is the guy who says “ we’ll make up for the lower takeout by handling much more on the fan friendly bet. Of course where are the NYRA lovers who won’t speak up on the issue of 24% on Tri, super, pick 3 and pick 4 ?

Great to see NYRA lowered the takeout to 19% on the bet. In the old float out the high takeout to see if it flies, then cave to pressure.

A $1 pick 3 was offered on the same 3 races. For those who thought roulette was a bad idea check this out…

It was the first day it was offered. It paid about what the $1 would have paid for $3.

What is the problem?

No problem at all. I think it’s hilarious. Maybe next week we’ll have an option of 2 different pick4 pools at 2 different minimums starting in the same race.
