You have a good point. I was just attempting to compile a list of where the most affordable wagers were as a function of the base bet, so that those of us with a more limited bankroll can play more often or wider in terms of combinations. But takeout is certainly a consideration, and if bankroll size were not an issue, it would be the leading criterion for selecting a track and race to wager on.

Charles Town offers .50 Supers.

[philcski]

Keeneland has $.50 Pick 3's, Finger Lakes $.50 Pick 4's.

If you like a horse in a race, do you really skip that race or a sequence it's in because of the take-out from your envisioned winnings?

If you like a horse in a sequence that has a 15% takeout vs. a 25% takeout it is something to consider. The point is that there are many choices and no urgency to wager into a pool that takes 10% more of your money.

If the horse in the 25% pool looks good why not simply place a flat win bet at 15% ?
