Neilsen Sports Research says Racing better get its act together with competitive odds



There’s a way to do this but the Industry should have gotten started yesterday. Love to see California lead by lowering the takeout and breakage on higher churn wagers.

What does "higher churn wagers" mean?

Does this mean bigger bets or bigger bettors?

Higher churn wagers are the straight pools, then exactas/doubles, etc.

Nationalized fixed odds straight pool wagering for horse racing is the answer.

No, things are where they should be.

How could anyone think 25% takeout is 'where things should be'

Excerpt:

“The actual effective takeout rate is far higher than what’s even being reported,” Cummings said. "That 17.3 percent – that’s the average published takeout rate – doesn’t really factor in elements like breakage, which is something that we’re really quite keen on and talking about and really educating the public.”

While takeout is the percent of money a racetrack retains from pari-mutuel pools for race purses, taxes or operating expenses, breakage is the pennies retained by a racetrack or state after a pari-mutuel payoff is rounded down to nickels or dimes.

I’ve never understood why us players do not boycott or join and Lobby to get rid of breakage. It’s theft in my opinion and it adds up fast. Just ridiculous how they gouge their customers.

IF it were going to race horse retirement / rehoming or injured/paralyzed jockey or exercise rider fund, I could live with it.

Unfortunately, it's not. Yeah, it's theft.

Breakage doesn’t move a 17.3% take to 25% though... not unless you’re rounding $8.09 down to $5.00

I heard the stock market was taking a look at the Horse Racing breakage model. Then all the pr*cks who don't want to change it to a penny would get it.

A Modest Proposal

FIELD SIZE APPROPRIATE MEASURES
<5 horses = cancellation, rescheduled race to a later date
=5 horses = 10% Takeout WPS
=6 horses = 12% Takeout WPS
=7 horses = 14% Takeout WPS
≥8 horses = 16% Takeout WPS (capped/ceiling)

I really like this idea.
