Well who do you think thought it up? Surely you don't think liberals run horse racing. Most industry leaders are Republicans who believe in lower taxes, except for the poor souls they call "customers".markinsacnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22896617.post-79166429822185075652010-11-18T01:01:14.621-05:002010-11-18T01:01:14.621-05:00Ray Paulick is a big Liberal,a big Huffington post...Ray Paulick is a big Liberal,a big Huffington post fan.So,It only makes sense that he would be in favor of a tax/takeout increase.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22896617.post-3517476763196601142010-11-17T20:24:43.677-05:002010-11-17T20:24:43.677-05:00Ten years ago or so, I tried to explain to Paulick...Ten years ago or so, I tried to explain to Paulick about takeout. He didn't get it then -- and he doesn't get it now.<br /><br />Clearly, thousands of serious horseplayers have since left for gambling opportunities where the bettor has a better chance to win.<br /><br />California once recognized that takeout was very important to its success. New decision makers, aided by Paulick-types ( but ignoring advice of seasoned gamblers who know when the breaking point has arrived )<br />naively and shortsightedly raise takeout with a band-aid in a vain effort to stop a hemorrhage.<br /><br />A 25% increase in purses in the long run will be at the cost of losing the battle for suvival.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22896617.post-74312518752843112542010-11-17T15:50:28.397-05:002010-11-17T15:50:28.397-05:00The first thing all North American racetracks need...The first thing all North American racetracks need to do is to go to a peer to peer trading exchange, much like Tradesports.com used to be, or how BetFair.com currently is. You get the exact odds and at the best available market price.<br /><br />If the above happens, there is no need for my second point, which is breakage. In a day of vouchers, why is breakage necessary? You should get <b>exact</b> payout, to the penny. When you cash in a voucher, take breakage at that point, if at all.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.ponybettor.com>PonyBettor.com</a>FLChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12351628460881317466noreply@blogger.com
