Imo, 98% of everything being discussed in this thread can be addressed if track management and horsemen alphabet groups in states like CA, FL, KY, and NY led the way by deciding to level the playing field.
Lower the takeout for all and eliminate rebates for all.
This can't be a token takeout reduction.
Lower the takeout for all wagers to (approximately) the same net effective takeout high volume rebate players are currently paying.
Offer the same tote api to every horseplayer who wants it. Remove the speed restrictions that purposely slow text file upload offered by traditional ADWs.
Suddenly you've created a level playing field.
Everybody is paying the same net effective takeout rates.
And everybody is being offered the same technology.
Do this, and one of racing's biggest 'perception' problems suddenly goes away.
Then, market the shit out of racing as a (to borrow a phrase) a true gambling game of skill.
