If sports-betting is offered at 12-10 after "legalization"...then it will be a worse gamble than horse racing is right now. An first glance the 10% takeout on sports-betting looks inviting, but there isn't enough "room for error" when there are only two betting sides to a wager...and the winning gambler is looking to capitalize on his competition's "mistakes". That's why the short fields that we currently see at the track are the anathema of the profit-seeking horseplayer. The shorter the field, the lesser the betting options...and the more unlikely our chances become of finding an "overlay" by capitalizing on our competition's mistakes.
