      I mean, only a sucker would bet into an exacta pool with a 26% rake, but then to have that same pool capped at a $100 mutual payout? WOW.

      5 Dimes and Bovada will not only pay you up to $10,000 profit on any race at Suffolk, you can get 5% rebates on all exacta wagers there, and yet you want to give this clown sportsbook props because he decided to give you the other $193.60?

      Very simple, if you're capping exacta payouts at 50-1 at a track with a 26% exacta hold rate, don't bother advertising that you take horse wagers, just close the department.

      And just for the record, that race had $45,000 bet into their exacta pool, so it's not like this is Will Rodgers Downs where some goofball scoops a $1500 exacta because he's the only person in the country with a winning ticket with a $1950 total exacta pool where the 3-5 and the 2-1 chalks don't hit the board.

      Sharp post Indio. And for the record, Jon said he was going to upgrade the racebook numerous times, over a year ago? What happened to that.

        Rip off payouts or not with horses. It is what it is. No surprises or hidden tactics. The greek had the same stuff. It is comical, but then if they eliminate it, you have even more players who were content playing their horse program complaining why they took it away. You can't please everyone.
