How many new exotic wagers can you adopt with lower takeouts before you admit that you ought to lower the takeout on the bread & butter exotics?

"Chairman Keith Blackpool said that he was intrigued by the POTENTIAL such a wager could have on the
non-racing public."
Why should we worry about the fate of California racing...when people like Keith Blackpool are at the helm?
Here we have a bet which will only offer about an even-money return (or much less)...and this "genius" thinks this will have an affect on the NON-RACING public...
Nice to see that the racing leaders are so "in tune" with what the public wants...
