Nah......just make as much as you can and pocket it..

and they still have the casino
The majority is bet off track. On a blended basis (on-track and off-track handle), their takeout is probably around 6%, which means $120k/card in takeout. Roughly 25% to 30% of that goes to purses, or $30k to $36k/card. Needless to say, the daily handle doesn't even support the overnight purses. The casino subsidy is just starting to ramp back up, I assume.
