Hey All, what is it with that track ?....I love the structure, both class and speed, of the 5/8's of mile ovals, and I especially do well at this venue, I really love the racing scene at The Meadows, but what's very "disheartening" for me at least, is the how and the why of all this greed....The casino profits should be more than enough for them.....Heck, if a slot was only returning 89% for a buck invested, then my how you would see how fast that slot machine would be avoided, and this
is so as I see it all the time at all the tcasinos, so then, how can the track, if they wanted to get and keep a horseplayer coming back for more, think that, by raising the rake on an exotic bet giving only a 65% return on investment, would entice any serious" players to be the least bit driven to make a substantial wager on such a play on such a disadvantaged wager to begin with??.....I can't understand the "suits" thinking on this....Bad business practice, I'd say....
Sadly, I think that most "racinos" have this plan to ultimately eliminate the losing ending of the business in the long run....Some tracks may want to have this happen sooner....What other reason would there be, other than to pull the betting-rug out from any serious player, to make this play....
Shame on you MEADOWS !!.....that really sucks of you....
best,
