Take Out
I don't think just kowing that the take out is lower is going to lure very many people at all. I think you are giving people way too much credit for their thought processes. What will eventually improve the handle is that over time, not so many will be broke, and theat the odds are better with a lower take. This thing will take time to evolve. I bet less than 1% of the bettors even know what the take is, let alone consider it. After a while, though, when simulcast palyers start getting 2-1 on horse they used to get 8-5 on, they will be betting NYRA more often and when they do, they will keep enough cash to come back. But this will take time-give it at least a year. NExt time your at the track or OTB, look at the majority of people playing and then ask yourself,
does this guy know or care about anything beyond the 2-4-8 in this race?
