But at least a couple of racetracks understand that concentrating "the edge" of rebates in the hands of the few is detrimental to handle in the long run.
Unless you have years worth of plays over the OP meet, it's more likely your handicapping is a bigger factor in the difference between your play at OP and other tracks. After all, just a few nice hits during their relatively short meet can cause you to be in the black. I know at the end of the year my ROI by track varies from 0.00 to 1.65, and it's not the CRW influence that's causing that....

I don't understand how a private transaction that happens after the prices are official has any affect on those very prices. A horse who pays 8.20 pays 8.20 whether of not a rebate shop gives a gratuity to their customers.
