You are a knowledgeable person of this industry and whose opinion I respect.
The statement above is certainly moving in this direction.

Maybe CD not making their signal available so they'll have a built in excuse as to why handle dropped? They're not going to ever admit it was because bettors were smart and stayed away, so they need some other reason, this might be the reason.

Not available today either - none of the CD owned tracks (CD, Arlington or Calder) are on the menu. NJ Bets is run by TVG & is the only ADW we can use in the state

We were able to bet on all 3 tracks up until last Sunday. No response to my inquiry from yesterday.

Hey Affirmedny, that is the one I used from the site. They probably aren't contracted right now, normally we'll get it back but just don't know when.

I think we're seeing more and more of it, of late, for sure. I went through the Asian gaming and racing summit presentations this past week and it is a different world out there. I think I heard the words 'bettor', 'wagering' and 'growing the pie through the customer' a thousand times. We need more of that here, imo.

Thanks for the nice words.

When there are many tracks with specialist info available then what's the use of them raising takeout precentage ?
There is a world wide conspiracy afoot however to rob punters.

Churchill had a brutal week. Handle down about 25% today, I know there was an issue with N.J. earlier this week, but I believed it's been resolved.

Strange type of sitiuation.
Churchill Downs are not the one and only race track in America -apart of Kentucky day of course that attracts attention from all over the world.

So it's a control experiment.

Any way you look at it, lot of money spent for what 1 week? ...

It's a control experiment.
Prohibitionists and money grabbers bandied together.

Some people are saying "the conservatives will save the day because they stand for the free economy and are against excessive taxation".
Some other people are saying "the socialists are those who will save the day because they stand for the people and do not tolerate injustices".

But we are getting the worst of both worlds.
Madame Mao and Frau Himmler in the same boat.

Only made one single wager at Chrurchill from Friday to Sunday-- because of their take-out increase. In past years.... I would have made forty or so on three cards.... My personal $ handle has moved to the lower take-out pools at Momouth, Belmont or Gulfstream.

Churchill got nothing to worry about, they will make it up on the parking
