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

Can YOU beat the current mutuel pools? And if you can't, then...how do you know that the onerous takeout isn't what's preventing you from doing so?
