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?

For me it does. Lately I couldnt hit a pick six if you spotted me 5 winners and let me go "all" in the sixth.

While the ADW is beyond annoying.....whats worse is we cant bet CD down here...but correct me if I am wrong, but isnt that the CD horsemen's decision to block out S Fla from their signal. It's one thing if I cant get down on a race on xpressbet....usually I can drive to the track if I really want to bet. But with the CD situation I am completely screwed if i want to bet CD.

I also dont get what the Fla horsemen are trying to accomplish by keeping their signal locked in Fla only....makes zero sense. Is hurting them pretty damn bad with the purse cuts. Again...if they have a problem with adw's thats one thing.....but to block out everyone else is just stupid.
