Why can't people understand the real truth behind the staggering decline. It is almost parallel with the influx of illegal drugs in the game. Once big players started to feel the game was not legitimate, they left and are on to other things. When you take away enough huge players, the handle declines, the takeout raises, more people leave, less people win, etc.
I can't believe people don't understand that the trainers that are cheating and winning at 35, 45, 55 percent are doing so at the collapse of the game. The fact that trainers like Chambers, Guerrero, Ness, etc keep winning at this high rate means the game can't or won't clean it up. PED's mean speed carries. Speed that carries = even money at most tracks. AQU and SA are littered with $18 pick 4 payouts. All of this is killing the popularity of the game. Thus, real players will stay away.
Not hard to understand.

Let me guess, you have a government job? You got a raise in the last 2 to 3 years? The sector that I work in is particualry telling, the economy is not good and people don't have a lot of excess money right now. If you don't believe me, then explain why housing markets are not recovering. I did not state that the economy was the entire decline, just something that has to be factored into the equation.
As for the rest of your nonsense, while cheaters hurt the game to some extent, they have been around almost as long as the game and certainly were doing it when the game was in its so called heyday. I would love to hear when you believe the influx occurred that was parallel to the decline. Next you will tell us that the decline of on track attendance is more proof of the game's decline! Before you go accusing others of an inability to understand, you should look in the mirror.
