This is a great thing as a first step to adding value.
I've been pushing to bring back parlays since they were taken away in 2007. In 2012 I proposed they bring them back at Hollywood Park with a bonus on net winnings for parlays of 3 to 6 horses. But Nooooooooooo. Ritvo now wants to do something similar which is great IMO.
I’d go 10% bonus on net profit for a three and four horse parlay
15% bonus on net profit for a 4 and 5 horse parlay
And 20% bonus on net profit for any 6 horse parlay
And there are more specific details to be worked out since they are really separate WPS bets.
There are smarter people than me on the board who would probably have a better idea than mine on how to pay the bonuses and how much they should be.
Additionally he proposed this:
I'm not one to sell a ticket when I have a shot to make a good score but I know a lot of people do. But I would imagine there are times when it makes sense. Be interesting to see if it's legal. Another innovative idea.
The big ones will be paying penny breakage and reducing exacta takeout to 16.5% if they have the guts. Only then will you be able to sell it as a gambling game of skill to the public. Churn Baby Churn.
