roughly 33% of the record handle is due to the fact they had a mandatory payout --in which CAW action is unusually heavy
Assiniboia Downs last night handled $4.9 mil.....-a record....--due to a mandatory payout in which $2.5 mil of fresh CAW money was wagered on another mandatory payout
you can read these data points any way you like-the reality is the record handles were because fresh CAW money flooded the pools-basically screwing over all the non CAW handle
not everyone is an idiot believing the game is thriving because they look at skewed numpers produced by CAW handle--only a few actually think that it is
Yes. 265k of the 654k total handle came from the p5 carryover.
A wager they offer once a year and is heavily bet in the very last wagerijg cycle (caw)
These tracks use the smoke and mirrors strategy whenever possible, they rarely have legitimately good news to report.
1 wager per year is not sustainable or reliable measure of "thriving"
