Someone ought to send a proposal to Mark Cuban (or someone like him) and explain to him that he should open up a supertrack with 10 pct takeouts across the board. HE can put all these other tracks out of business with a super track. he can 'foot' the bill early on for large purses to attract the very best horses, recruit the very best jocks and trainers and just turn racing on its ear.
Here's my question for all of you on here. If a supertrack opened with a 10 pct takeout across the board, would you drop everything and put all your time and effort into handicapping and betting on this track? Or, would you stick with your status quo?

The problem is that WEG wouldn't take the signal and they wouldn't let me sign up with anyone in the US that took them.
Or WEG would take the signal and ramp up the takeouts to 25%
