In reality the current practices have reduced the number of players. A newbie who understands gambling will not jump for joy playing odds roulette with win bets not knowing what price they will get until after the horses hit the wire. Getting 2.80 on a show horse doesn't raise the heart rate much either.
In CA where the W-P-S takeout is 15.43% they are already essentially at the 15% mark. By switching to the 15-30 plan they would only really be changing the exacta takeout and raising everything else. Put me down in the you've-got-to-be-kidding-me column.
