I believe for a week last month that there was this huge handicapping contest on line somewhere. The horse racing world so abuzz and people were following it so intently that they stopped betting for the entire week. I can't believe that there was no mention of it around here.

I think that number is somewhat skewed by offshore wagering. Many of the horseplayers I know, bet through Diamond Sports or some other offshore book. As a resident of the great state of Missouri, I have no choice but to go offshore, but I know of several guys who play $10k to $15k a week in states where they could use TwinSpires or Xpressbet, but don't because of the rebates and no taxes.

no chance. polytrack makes every horse impossible to eliminate. when every horse has a good chance to win it means more handle not less. plus you always have to use the all button in your exactas if you can afford em.
