If you play Ellis Park, or just like to play Pick 4's, you should be getting involved in this pool. As players, our biggest gripe is with the exuberent takeout in the pools. We should be extatic about this. Let's all help make this a huge success that will hopefully start a positive trend in the industry. Congratulations to Ellis Park on getting this started. I will certainly be involved everyday.
I totally agree. If we poured money into this the way we pour money into "guaranteed pools" and carryovers, maybe we could actually get tracks to drop takeout once in a while. I'll be handicapping and playing ELP a lot more these days.
