When a horseplayer gives up the game, or greatly reduces his betting over time...the industry doesn't interpret this as if the player made a rational decision to do so because he became "disgruntled" with the way the game has devolved. To the industry, the horseplayer who stops betting either DIED...or he went broke. In either case, this player is no longer of any use to the track...so the track no longer bothers with him. So...the track now looks for some new way by which they could attract a new group of "live ones"...to replace the ones who "died, or went broke". That's how the rebates and the Whales were created...IMO.
