Read the fine print on the bottom. The numbers don't include the 2% that goes to horsemen (4% on triactors) and the 1.3% that goes for taxes.<br />Add 3.3% to all bets except add 5.3% to triactors and you get the real takeout rates.Cangamblenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22896617.post-46529802038987472212010-03-28T03:28:16.993-04:002010-03-28T03:28:16.993-04:00hey cangamble...i checked out the new woodbine sit...hey cangamble...i checked out the new woodbine site and checked the takeout or levy section...the numbers they have posted are lower than the ones on the google map...is it right???...are they listening???Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22896617.post-70567388852215842482010-03-21T18:12:22.865-04:002010-03-21T18:12:22.865-04:00Anon, here is a takeout chart of North America via...Anon, here is <a href="http://maps.google.ca/maps/ms?hl=en&gl=ca&ie=UTF8&oe=UTF8&msa=0&msid=105431952953964702152.00047fd83f45cb6beac52" rel="nofollow">a takeout chart of North America via Google Map</a>Cangamblenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22896617.post-74344790735523718232010-03-21T15:00:50.223-04:002010-03-21T15:00:50.223-04:00is there any charts of takeouts across north ameri...is there any charts of takeouts across north america...<br /><br />a wager ticket should itemize takeout for each race so you know what you are "actually betting"...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22896617.post-37911145080826693452010-03-19T13:09:30.459-04:002010-03-19T13:09:30.459-04:00Being ripped off by weg is an outrage i get real t...Being ripped off by weg is an outrage i get real track prices @ william hill for my exotics,its tough enough beating the take out without weg grabbing more when you cash!my win bets go to Betfair where the prices are usually 30%-50% more that the race track gives out.oh Woodbine opens April 2nd good luck to them,they really should open April 1st,to kick start April fools day,because that would be poetic justice as you would be a fool to take their prices!Railbirdnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22896617.post-6243761988198446902010-03-18T09:29:11.084-04:002010-03-18T09:29:11.084-04:00Another "beautifully"written scenario a...Another "beautifully"written scenario about the short sightedness of WEG.Tomnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22896617.post-62405418836425104862010-03-17T22:54:17.614-04:002010-03-17T22:54:17.614-04:00On the Pull the Pocket blog bettors in the comment...On the Pull the Pocket blog bettors in the comments section have been asking about this for a long time. <br /><br />It is a simple question that the "whip" person asked the other day: Where does the extra money go? <br /><br />No one seems to know the answer and it is shameful that Woodbine does not feel their customers worthy enough to respond to.<br /><br />RichAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22896617.post-47028479222795022612010-03-17T12:39:01.615-04:002010-03-17T12:39:01.615-04:00Nothing to do with the government.

The government has publicly stated, they don't care what the takeout rate is.<br /><br />Woodbine isn't lying about it either.

Is that the case? If so, they should get after the government as they are hurting them. If they are lying, shame on them.<br /><br />I am a small time bettor but I stopped going to OTB in NY due to their 5% surcharge. In my case, it doesn't amount to much, but I still felt like I was getting a prostate exam. If I need to get a prostrate exam, I prefer a doctor do it.That Blog Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15487597769210721585noreply@blogger.com
