RG, you will see from my earlier post that I agree thatexotics should be harder,but inflation should have catered for that (an increase of 50c in 50yrs is crazy)
What I disagree with is the ability to manipulate by those with an inside knowledge.
We can't compete with the other growing gambles like Poker ,without trust..........and right now it can't be trusted.
In twenty years time inflationary increases will still achieve the goal...........but we can't take couplings away again!
It will be interesting to see if.over time,so few punters get return from P6 pools,whether they can be maintained.
We have to often consider the big picture rather than what suits us,individually...........my strategy is that,as racing becomes more unpredictable,I take wider bets and use the fractional factor to buy up losing tickets.........but that will only last as long as the smaller punter feels they are getting a fair deal and keeps providing losing tickets.........just my opinion.
