SCIOTO DOWNS OPENING NIGHT

[old guy]

Correct.

Plop degenerates are predicting $2 Million handles for garbage welfare tracks.

There will be a thread... Pigland will last 2 races... LucPark will get robbed by a bad drive 5x... Various other Degens will be sobbing as usual.

And handle won't likely reach $300k.

And Louie will be blowing up batteries.

Should have known why this forum is full of so many degenerate losing bettors.... a shithole in Ohio that usually gets zero play is first up after two plus months off and maybe one qualifier and clowns on here can't wait to lose cash. There are a small handful of real handicappers on here and they won't be touching this dump with a ten foot pole. Who said there was a sucker born everyday...... throwing darts at a tiny board.... GOOD LUCK

Totally get it
But watching the Q's, cuz I had the time.... There were several 5th and 6th place finishers in the Q's plodding along while whomever was sitting behind them doubling them up down the lane.

Some stables look like duds --- others had them ready --- some looking to cash a ticket at potentially good prices as I bet a few of them are starting to feel the pinch of not racing...…

12 races …  25k a race is 300,000.   Luc's gonna win that bet .. Handle will be way over 300.  I'd lay 1/5 all on that all day long.  Not gonna be 2 mil either.  same odds.

Friday's was already posted here yesterday by John.  Where did you find a free Saturday program? Only Friday's is posted on Trackmaster's site and my ADW only has Friday's available right now

I'll say 900k

program ready -- more Q's to watch this morning before heading to work tonight.

I wonder what management would consider success / failure ?

[dinkadoo]

With no fans ( although not many go to the track ) all wagering is reliant on ADW....

A couple of years ago, there was an article in DRF. For some reason a lot of the big internet companies contracts were coming up. TVG, xpressbet and twinspires….

They discussed that the give back to tracks were usually 3-5%...

So tonight -- With Scioto the only harness game going this weekend. I was thinking about the numbers. Now granted their purses are inflated from the slot check they receive but what could a big weekend mean handle to purse...

say Scioto handles $1 million tonight.  At the top end lets say they get 5% or $50,000... Take 5% for track management, personnel, utilities and insurance.

So they are left with $45,000 from the ADW to pay purses....

Friday Purses equal $124,500... They would run out of money into 6th race.

If they had to race from actual wagers on possibly their greatest night with a 12 race card -- $3,750

Between 750 & 1 mil,  few tracks & similcast outlets open,  Goodluck Jola

[Overcheck]

MVG was probably averaging 30k handle a race.  I think Scioto will do 50k a race for a 600k handle or better.  Would be nice if they did 100k a race but will have to see it to believe it.  Still alot of folks that won't or can't open a online betting account.
