My other guess is that many of the "rebaters" who are able to achieve a 10% rebate are using the rebate as a cushion to either offset small losses or ensure a significant return. If they are somewhat sophisticated in how they handle their money, losing the rebate will more likely encourage them to invest elsewhere.

If there is any decrease in takeout % wouldn't the odds in general be higher?
