Would you accept a raise in takeouts to fund updating the current system?

You're ridiculous. The racing industry has been MIRED in 1970s technology for the most part.
You mean to tell me in the last three decades (we won't even go back to the 1970s), they couldn't raise enough money to update the tote system at each track to bring them all IN LINE with what the major tote companies can offer if need be?
And not only that, you want US, the customer, to pay for this "luxury" of more accurate pool info?
