Here is my suggestion to begin addressing this problem. If the tracks need the handle of CRW players, then at least give half the card back to the recreational and semipro players. Shut down access for the computer teams on five races a day. Lower the takeout on those races to something reasonable. Shut off access to the computer wager teams for all stake races as well.
I doubt the tracks do anything. They appear to look at the average player (those that bet at the windows or from home with a regular wagering account) with disdain. The average players have no organization, no union, and no voice. The perception is that if you play a game with an exorbitant takeout, you must have a mental illness and no self control. Therefore, why give any concessions to a group that will wager no matter the takeout. Sure, you will chase out some to other activities, but the CRW guys will keep the handle going.
