Are these rates a joke? This is competitive with Powerball takeout.

Well, it's only for one day, and, if you're lucky, you will lose every race and the take out won't matter! :p

thanks for posting that. There is no betting at Meydan-correct? Who is setting the takeouts?

Parx?

Parx actually isn't bad WPS and exacta, maybe daily doubles. I'm going from memory and talking comparatively speaking of course.

The rest are ridiculous.

Appreciate the heads up on this. I was excited to cap these races, but I refuse to bet into pools with this rake. Just going to wait and watch the replays. I don't know which is worse... the poker industry or the horse-racing industry. They're both going to die a slow death.

edit: it really does suck things are so backwards in this industry.. bc the coverage of the races in Dubai are second to none.

Michael,

I do agree! With me I am very selective when betting into this very high take out tracks..ie. Parx. To say I never bet them would not be a sound idea (imo), as a solid overlay in a race with a bad favorite and/or second choice can more than make up for the take out.
