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.

Oh I get it. You were just taking the baton from the thread starter.

Have fun with that.

I watched the first three from Canterbury today, their opening day.

4/5, 2/5, 1/9

They could lower their pick 4’s to single digits, it won’t matter. The track is unplayable. That’s why when they tried the low takeout a few years back it didn’t matter.
