Track Take

[Secretariat]

Anyone know of a website that lists all the Track Takes across the country - WPS, Ex, P3, DD's, and Tri's. Just observed that the track take at PHA Park is 30% on Trifectas. Got to be tracks that can do better than that.

Here is the link for takeout for thoroughbred tracks.

You can compare the takeouts at Figman's link to those at http://www.horseplayerdaily.com/tools/vig/

Neither list is strictly "official" because changes are usually triggered when a member/subscriber notifies the webmasters.

Thank you both so much. Wow. IT is hard to beleive if I'm playing a Trifecta at CDX versus PHA I am picking up 11 cents on the dollar per bet.

New York racing looks the best for WPS, and thats where I'll bet.

Thanks.

You're not picking up anything unless you're CASHING those tris!

A losing bet is a 100% loss no matter what the takeout or where you are wagering.














-Each additional race either enhances or detracts from a horse's current form. No machines here!

The only thing that matters is whether you can WIN--can you CASH TICKETS????

If you Can----then the % differences mean that you will win a little more or less over the long run.

If you are a loser--which most players are---than the losing player will lose his/her bankroll faster based on the takeout.

Large takeouts are awful--but you must remember that compulsive players really do not care about this or anything else--they just want "action." That's why the gambling business is so big in any form and so profitable. Most folks just want the excitement of playing whatever game it is and don't really care if they win or lose--they just want to have fun!!!

All the best,
