I can't attest to all places but in the ones that I've seen first hand where purses are raised the cost of almost everything there gets jacked up once purses increase so is the percentage of owners breaking even or making money increasing significantly? Sadly, no. With the widespread rampant cheating, bad publicity, and BS politics involved in the game on top of the low% chance of being profitable do we really have to wonder why the sport has trouble attracting new pockets and growing the game and also keeping all the existing ones in it?
