It takes the whole industry to do it, or at least about 5 or 6 major tracks to do it.
And I never said it would be done. The industry is far too dysfunctional to erase their mindsets and move into...

I think you are having a hard time grasping the fact that if 1 billion is bet during a specific period at a 20% takeout, most likely 2.5 to 3 billion would be bet if takeout was 10%.

Just plain wrong.

Actually the takeout on football is much less than 10%. Two people match $100 bets, one takes the fave, the other the dog, $200 is bet and only $10 goes to the house.

They already had free video and free replay. They are now taking it away from those who don't bet enough. Or the many who have an HPI account but bet where they are respected as a customer.
