Pocono Downs (Harness) not worth playing with that 35% takeout on tris and supers.

I would play the tris and supers with a 35% takeout if I knew which horses to toss or box.

Portland Meadows Pick 4 takeout has been 14% for three years now, just FYI

You have to factor rebating in. Most with the highest takeout offer ridiculous rebates to people in other states. I've seen Trifecta rebates at some tracks around 20%. Of course in California we can't get those types of rebates.

What a lot of people don't know is that you can get some big rebates without volume requirements at most tracks that are not considered "A" Tracks.
