It's one thing to round down a win payoff from $13.58 to $13.40, for example. That 18 cents doesn't represent a big chunk of your profit.
However, consider a show payoff getting rounded down from $2.58 to $2.40. In this case, the 18 cents that is taken away for breakage absolutely destroys your profit. That 18 cents doesn't sound like a lot, but it's like 30% of your profits being stolen from you!
So for reasons like this, I think rebates are a must if you're going to focus entirely on show wagering.
