This is the most telling sentence

Zetcher acknowledged that some bettors will be upset by the higher takeout, “I understand what the other side’s position might be,” he said.

The "other side"?

aka, customers.

It's horseracing, logic is not one of their strengths.

What's the problem? With S Cal tracks going back to dirt, all the POLY losers will become DIRT winners, AGAIN.

Surely they can withstand a couple of percentage points increase.

It's all good in DIRTland.

Repeat after me: 'The real problem in racing is POLY'.

I always love these arguments

Under the proposed increases, California’s takeout for more complex exotic bets would still be lower than other jurisdictions. ]

Except less, pay more but learn to like it because someone else has it shi_ttier than you .
