Maryland, oh Maryland....83% increase in the takeout for pick 3 and 4's.

Anyone who can make money in this game deserves serious credit.

We've hit an all new low on how dumb the administrators of this game can act. Unbelievable.

This decision is about as smart as mandanting that every track in a huge state convert their dirt surfaces to synthetic without any studies or statistics to prove that synthetic surfaces reduce breakdowns and without exploring whether or not redoing dirt surfaces increase safety at a much cheaper cost due to one high profile breakdown across the country.

I don't really play Maryland tracks anyway, but I certainly won't be anytime soon.

same here, did not play them much before and now its "never". 26% is about the highest pick 3 rate in the country.
