Love the lower takeout but there are many obstacles.

The pools are tiny, which snowballs because it keeps other bettors away . They need to 86 the rolling doubles. The double pools are usually well below $1000. The pick 3 pools are a little better but still aren't big enough to produce value if longshots hit.

Then there is the problem with the product itself. There seem to be many small fields with odds-on chalk. They certainly also have some big fields too, especially on the turf. There are quite a few state-bred races which might be deterring simulcast players that aren't familiar with the MN horses. Finally , it's hard to take huge stands in races that have Diodoro horses.

These are opinions of course. I'd love to hear other players' thoughts.
