I think that Pimlico offered 14 percent Pick 3s, but again, the pool sizes are miniscule, its not going to attract bettors to those pools.
This is one reason why they don't. All the screaming we do is lower takeouts, but then you have a few experiments like these and the pool sizes don't seem to change much. We yell that lower takeout will mean more handle, but when it happens, we yell something else, "the pools are too small."
