Horseplayers Association of North America: A Comment from an Industry Analyst
http://blog.horseplayersassociation.org/2015/03/a-comment-from-industry-analyst.html
Friday, March 27, 2015. A Comment from an Industry Analyst. We received a comment on yesterday's blog piece from Michael - a long time Thoroughbred and harness horseplayer and an industry employee - who has been changing the way the sport (in this case, harness racing) is being wagered. Michael has been the impetus behind some lower takeout wagers, which have seen some tremendous growth. With a 15 per cent takeout and a twenty cent minimum, I estimate a pool of $3,000,000. More importantly, it is a c...

Horseplayers Association of North America: Discerning Horseplayers Are Finding Tracks and Bets to Wager On
http://blog.horseplayersassociation.org/2015/05/discerning-horseplayers-are-finding.html
Monday, May 18, 2015. Discerning Horseplayers Are Finding Tracks and Bets to Wager On. We've all seen the headlines: Racing handles are falling faster than the popularity of short fields, there are no 'great places to play', takeout is going up, and bettors are fleeing. But there are some bright spots. Horseplayers are finding these spots, and they seem to be enjoying them. The pick 5 paid almost $400 more. Than it would've paid at the new, high Woodbine Racetrack pick 5 takeout. On Wednesday evening, th...

http://blog.horseplayersassociation.org/2015/04/bettor-alert-woodbine-comes-after.html
Wednesday, April 8, 2015. Bettor Alert: Woodbine Comes After Horseplayer Money with a High Takeout Pick 5. One of the best bets for Horseplayers the past few years has been the lower takeout pick 5. Beginning with Monmouth (15%), and later on at California racetracks (14% Players Pick 5) and NYRA (15%), this bet has been a staple. Just this year, Pimlico, trying to get people interested in their product, created a 12% takeout pick 5, and Northlands Park in Canada, one at 10%. They dont realize how lucky ...

Sunday, April 12, 2015. Woodbine High Take Pick 5 Comment, on Behalf of the Smaller Player. The emails and comments we have received so far are not from large players (we have received some), as much as the smaller player who feels marginalized. Maybe your voice will not be listened to, but as a customer advocacy group, we will ensure people at least see it. Woodbine has been made aware of your feelings. Northlands Park, 10%. Pimlico (Stronach), 12%. NYRA - Belmont, Aqueduct, Saratoga 15%. It's a shame W...
