They would rather watch the handle go down 75% and purses cut to nothing. Smart move.

I mean how screwed up is it that we cant bet CD down here in S. Florida? It's ridiculous that the signal is being withheld by the horsemen up there. From what I have read the tracks have been willing to negotiate a bit, but the horsemen are saying "it's this or nothing".

I am not saying that CD and CRC are 100 % innocent...but it seems they are willing to negotiate a bit, while the horsemen aren't.
The tracks refuse to sit down with our appointed negotiators. How is that willing to negotiate? They wont even sit in the same room as our reps and they sued them, naming them individually?

How about if they said that if you as a bettor could play the pick 6 at your home track with a 25% takeout but if you made the bet on the internet or through an ADW you had to accept a 50% takeout? Then when you balked they said ok we will give in a little, make it 49%. Sounds like a good deal to you?
