My post was in reference to Woodbine's...Hello,<br /><br />My post was in reference to Woodbine's handle five years ago to today. On a Thursday evening it was not uncommon to see $850,000 handles at Mohawk. Now they've doubled that number, by opening their signal and being more aggressive to ensure proper field size and pool size. This is a big change, especially in an industry that has lost 15% of handles since that time. <br /><br />As for the other part of your post, I don't really know what to say about that. Other than the fact that obviously casino's have taken away many of horse racing's customers, and many are likely to never return.<br /><br />PTPPull the Pockethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05082676049275768769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8560898823512627114.post-60477323328580384112013-07-24T03:18:24.764-04:002013-07-24T03:18:24.764-04:00I was one of the people that met with A Mac and a ...I was one of the people that met with A Mac and a former Cpma guy as Anthony talked about on SC and I HATE TO SAY THIS BUT I WAS REALLY HOPING THAT THE OTHER GROUP THAT MET WITH THE PANEL WAS NOT YOUR GROUP AND AFTER READING YOUR POST ABOUT WOODBINE COMING FULL CIRCLE MY STOMACHE CHURNED AS I CAN JUST IMAGINE HOW YOU SUGAR COATED THE REAL PROBLEMS WITH HALF TRUTHS INSTEAD OF TALKING TO THE BIG PLAYERS WHO NOW GO ELSWHERE TO PUT UP OUR BETS AND CANT COMMUNICATE WITH ANY OF THE GROUP WITH MUCH HONESTY, I BELIEVE THAT SOME OF YOU PEOPLE UNDERSTAND A BIT ABOUT THIS GAME BUT THE TRUTH IS THAT HANA IS MAINLY A ONE ITEM GROUP THAT BELIEVES IN RAKE REDUCTION AND MANY YEARS AGO I WAS IN TOTAL AGREEMENT WITH THAT PROCESS BUT TODAY THE DEAD MONEY IS PLAYING CASINOS AND BEING REPLACED WITH CARTEL MONEY AND GUYS LIKE ME CHURNING MORE MONEY THROUGH REBATE SHOPS, GIVING KUDOS TO THOSE WHO NEED TO BE REPLACED IS NOT HELPING OUR GAME AND I BELIEVE YOU PEOPLE BELIEVE THE SUCK UP MODE WORKS BUT THE FACTS ARE VERY LITTLE STRIDE HAS BEEN MADE AND I AM SURE THAT YOU REALLY DID NOT HELP THE CAUSE OF THE BIGGER PLAYERS LIKE ME AND MY GROUP.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8560898823512627114.post-23246929015293093142013-07-10T12:45:41.388-04:002013-07-10T12:45:41.388-04:00Pool size is all that matters.

There is a misapprehension among many that smaller denominations somehow reduce average payouts. There is no evidence to suggest that, and in fact it is illogical.kylenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8560898823512627114.post-44183336508061244442013-07-09T20:51:54.651-04:002013-07-09T20:51:54.651-04:00Good point Ron.

I'd rather play 5 20cent tri's than one 1 dollar tri, but that's just my preference, maybe others disagree. ronnoreply@blogger.com
