You greet the newcomer with a lot of negativity about how F'd up the game is because of the ignorance of management, and beckon him/her to join you in a snivelfest that is supposed to change it.
When all they want to do is sip a cold bear, do a little gaming, and chat up members of the opposite sex. If you could help them do that for a while, they might develop an interest in the sport while they are at it. There are many ways of doing that, telling the newcomer that he can never win because the take-out is too high, and all of the horses are on dope, is not one of them.

We want more horseplayers, and we also know that they only way to get a significant amount of new horseplayers is for the industry to change its ways.
Your approach hasn't worked. It is equal to the track's approach.
You are stuck in 1945 Jonnielu, and to be honest, I really think you are the most out of touch poster on PA IMO.
