Do not expect an OTB,ADW or track personnel to educate a player. It is not in their interests. They want all the action they can handle. You can walk into a track or OTB and 90% of the players would
look at you like you are crazy if you tell them what the take is on EX,TRI AND Supers. In NYCOTB there is an additional take above track take(I think 5 or 6% ) yet when I tell them to get a phone account from OTB which pays "track prices" and call their bets in rather then going to the teller on premises it has no effect. I finally convinced one guy after many years to get a phone account. Reason why?he got sick and could not come in the OTB for awhile.
