It would be business as usual for the caw and the racing industry in every other pool.
first of all, i don't believe for 1 second that the CAW doesn't bet and make money on the win pool...the second part with a reduced takeout on a meaning pool like the win pool would actually generate more business for the race track and would probably be a very smart thing to do. i know there are probably good reasons whey they don't, but they should try to overcome the obstacles in the way of doing just that.
