Personally, I do think it's high. But I compensate by being successful in the wagering side of things. Everything is not always a percent of slippage. Anytime $2 yields $14, I don't mind the state having $0.50 or so. My average mutual is about $7.00, which keeps me smiling daily!
Is there a way to get data for upcoming races automatically into a computer the way you get market data, and if so, can you provide me with a link? Or even better, realtime tote board data over the internet for races being run in a few minutes? This is not even for the money, it is just a teenage fantasy that I had long ago and I never followed through on it. nitro
