Someone with better numbers than I can support or refute this but.....

Is it not true that handle and field size are down in So Cal out of proportion to what would be explained by the impact of the recent economic realities.

If you had to predict how handle is going to compare at the 2009 BC to last year wouldn't it be less than the previous year?

I am curious as to why you have played California more than previously because I cannot find anyone in my circle who plays more on the west coast than previously.

It would be great if the takeout was sliced to reduce vertical takeouts but increased on horizontal plays (P3's etc) with larger payouts that would be a responsible way to generate more revenue for the state.
