A few years ago when P4's were at a buck you hit 3 or 4 and were able to show a profit for the meet. That isnt happening anymore but I am in the minority in my feelings for the .50 P4 and dime supers.

You should use specific examples showing how the parlay is not matching the multi race payoffs. I had run these numbers in socal quite a few times and they almost always, minus strong odds on horses in the sequence, paying more than the parlay.

Also do think its a fair comparison to use in season perfect weather February Las Vegas to 110 degree middle of the off season summer? I would imagine its a rather consistent market trend in that weather climate.

How is it not fair to compare the same 2 months against the same 2 months last year? Was the weather 30 degrees cooler or something last year in June and July.

my bad, I see the Y-Y.

Not sure why, I can assure you the economy in the surrounding states is picking up.
