I think Beyer has a good point. If you are watching and betting on six different race tracks at once, you most likely have no idea what the payoffs are on anything but win bets. If you have a buck bet, why not just divide the price by two? Beyer's point is not that he doesn't want to do the math, it's that he wants to be able to watch a bunch of tracks at once, and know all the probables without having to consult a chart every thirty seconds. If the screens posted the amount the payoffs are based on, it would be a different story. Unfortunately, most of them do not. Uniformity in payoff prices is a reasonable request for a simulcast player.
