I have to stop believing everything I read. ;-). And here I was, thinking that the distinguished members of this board had at least a little competition.
On a serious note, the takeout has been a major problem for the game for many years. I used to bug Crist, when he worked for NYRA about when they were gonna get smart. Nothing he could do.
I fantasize about them trying just a small experiment, run a FEW races with a very low takeout. Say 5%, ALL POOLS. See what happens. Try it on a big race , where there's national interest. It would cost them NOTHING because I suspect the increased handle would more than make up for the lost revs.
