I believe optimal takeout on WPS should be around 8%, while exotics should be around 10% for doubles, exactors and Pick 3's, and 12% for triactors and pick 4's, and maybe 13-14% for supers and pick 5's and 6's.Cangamblenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22896617.post-71394138618203607432011-05-17T19:13:59.788-04:002011-05-17T19:13:59.788-04:00Do you actually think 15% is a low takeout?Do you actually think 15% is a low takeout?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22896617.post-84207212786287321752011-05-15T13:02:30.283-04:002011-05-15T13:02:30.283-04:00CanGamble wrote: Hollywood Park needed to do somet...CanGamble wrote: <i>Hollywood Park needed to do something to say that they still care about the customer after California increased takeout on exotics....</i><br /><br />________<br /><br />What Hollywood Park (and the other SoCal tracks will now be doing is taking a cut from this new Pick 5 pool to offset the losses in handle. <br /><br />Another crutch for the TOC/CHRB to avoid what needs to be done in order to start reversing course. Nothing less than a rescinding of the takeout increases will create positive P.R. among the serious horse racing clientele.<br /><br />Food trucks and microbrew festivals is not the future.<br />It certainly will not bolster field sizes.
