Simply because on average horse players are spending the same amount of money they used to spend on a ticket and covering more horses. We can see an example of this on our play along threads now vs before the minimums were raised.

A few things to consider: To suggest they have declined 50% is not realistic. Another element worthy of consideration, and there are many, are the Algo guys who have entered into that pool as well as the much more sophisticated handicapping methodology in 2018. So while I get the min is a culprit and perhaps the primary driver behind lower payouts, I seriously doubt it's 50% or that its the ONLY reason.
