Imo, "proof of bigger advantage" can be ascertained by analyzing the settlement money between track and bet taker. (And I realize that's probably not part of your job description.
)
If the collective handle of players betting through an individual outlet is sophisticated enough:
When settlement date arrives, I'm guessing most of the time it's close to a wash. And sometimes the track ends up having to disburse money to the bet taker.
If the collective handle of players betting through an individual outlet isn't sophisticated:
When settlement date arrives, I'm guessing the track (almost always) receives a disbursement from the bet taker.
I'm guessing the settlement money of (say) TVG or Twinspires looks very different from that of (say) Elite.
