The best exercise for isolating your bread-and-butter angles is to play on low money for a day, or "tap out" your day's bankroll on a single race or a single bet.

As long as they aren't booting net winners (and they'd have no reason to), this won't be a problem. Even if they limit the rebates, they are still there for the average player, and one can keep an...
