As I've said before, on any good price winner I've had, I never take time to see what the payoff would be with a different takeout.

Its all about nothing if you can't get winners. Another way I look at this is that we all have the same take out or a level playing field as far as that.With that level playing field it comes down to having more skill than others. I get a thrill with each winner regardless of the takeout on my bet or what it pays.

One could also look at this way, without the track acting as a holder of the money many would not pay you? Additionally much of that takeout money goes back into racing in the form of purses, safety, insurance . . . etc. How would the tracks survive without the takeout? Yea I know don't do away with it just reduce it. It easy to run someone else's business isn't it. Even with the present day take outs many tracks are barely surviving. Takeout never enters my mind either before or after a bet.

If you lose sleep or takeout interferes with your handicapping, only play tracks with the least takeout on your favorite type bets. Easy solution and problem solved.

Nice bet ScottB, glad you made some money, also wish you much success in the future.
