Belmont new $3 late pick 3

[Alabama Stakes]

24% takeout ruins good idea.

Canterbury announces a new early pick 4 with a 10% takeout. Go figure.

I'd rather play a 500K Pool at 24% takeout then a 100K pool at 10%. Especially with the higher entry cost. Take a look at the Golden Hour Double. It has a $5 Bas and generally pays well.

Do you honestly expect anywhere near 500k in that pool ?

If they had a low takeout like 15% and promoted as a nice fan friendly wager, it would have a big handle. If they made the last race triple a $2 minimum with 15% fan friendly takeout, it would do big numbers.

It was a hypothetical. I do expect it to do 5X what his Canterbury example is and used a round number.

So if the takeout on the bet was. 15% would you be more likely to bet it ? Since your interested in betting into a bigger pool, it would be be a much bigger pool. Or is that too hypothetical for you ? Or are you saying that the same amount will be bet no matter the takeout ?
