1) The ability to bet on all low takeout tracks (like Laurel and the Ellis Park Win 4) at the track takeout being offered by the individual track.
2) The same rewards or rebate that I can get elsewhere within reason.
Pretty simple. I'm just asking WEG to compete fairly for the horseplayer's action, instead of in a bullying unethical anti-competitive manner. They may be deluded enough to think they are a monopoly, but they aint no monopoly, and they are losing lots of business as they further piss off and alienate educated bettors.
Unfortunately, I can't see things changing under the current short sighted management. They are too far gone. WEG needs to clean house.
WEG may not understand why their handles aren't great considering all the efforts they put in to advertise, but I do. The horseplayer is getting smart. Here is an example of what WEG's neglect of the bettor's real needs and wants yields:

BOYCOTT/BUYCOTT
Pace Advantage has managed to get some very good exposure since posting a petition against the practices and game playing by Advance Deposit Wagering (AWD) companies.
They decided to give AWD's a sub forum because of the popularity of the discussions about them.
One member made a cute avatar. See right.
Bloodhorse got wind of the boycott/buycott plans and wrote an article about it. There are over 400 signatures right now
Plans are to buycott (bet on a selected track that is bettor friendly to reward them) Albuquerque this Saturday. How you can support the buycott.
