2:1 is going to pay 2:1 regardless if takeout is 0% vs 99%. I’m sorry that you make bad bets and can’t beat the mutuel pools.
I’m still waiting for an acknowledgment from one of these organizations that the purpose of takeout is to maximize the amount taken from a pool without seeing diminishing returns. Reducing takeout isn’t going to change the price of a horse going off at 2:1, it’s going to have the effect of negatively impacting racing’s invested customers

So, therefore, if the takeout was (say) 60% the game would still be fine?
Wouldn't make any difference at all?
Game would still be exactly the same in terms of difficulty to beat?
And, were the takeout reduced to (say) 2%, it would not make the game easier to beat?
