That's the issue. The parties that squabble DO understand the importance and proceed to bungle the best way to take advantage of it and the ideas to move to an end goal have included high levels of exclusion and lost money. If those parties with their hands in the pot don't lose sleep over it now, that's fine, but if it continues, they likely will.

What exactly should the horseman do then? Accept a bad deal? Complaining about something is easy but actually coming up with an answer that is practical considering the circumstances is tough. Complain about the horseman all you want but the tracks (CDI especially) are the ones that dont want to make a fair deal, hiding behind the untruth that their ADW's would be unprofitable under the horsemans plan and that the horseman are to blame. Horseman simply want a similar cut of an ADW bet that they get from other types of bets. The tracks want to keep a greater %. You are the
direct customer of the track. Bitch at them to make the deal.
