Jeff, even Mountaineer can do something like that...they have slots and they have the only track running at this moment, the only one. Parx is only competing with Finger Lakes for the most part on Tuesdays, your idea is great, the only thing i would ask is what happens the other days when there is NOT a 10% takeout...people might be spoiled by the low rake on Tuedsay and not bet the other days, they could lose business by having too big of a "Sale" on bets on Tuesdays.
What they could also do if they dont want to lower the takeout on their bets is to have one huge pick 5 bet in the middle of the card, with a 100k guaranteed pool, a 14% takeout and you know, they could do a ton of advertising for that bet....they would get that handle easily, their pick 4 pool today was 44k, they would get 100 if they guaranteed the 100 and lowered the take.
