There are many good reasons for WO to have lowered take out on Win wagers.....competition with Hastings?.....I don't think they sit around the boardroom at WEG and worry very much about Hastings. There are much bigger fish to fry.....

Take out was lowered because WO has to attract more handle...they have to make up the difference between what was being delivered previously by the Ontario government and now.

It must be all coincidence that they decided on 14.95% and the cut was made only to win and not place and show.

How many other tracks have the win takeout different from their place and show?
