Is anything ever done right in this sport?
I would like to know who makes up the industry professionals list?
Just one more group with an edge

"Since they say it is available for "industry professionals", why can't hundreds of handicappers get together and form a "cooperative" and just buy the data for anyone who contributes a small annual membership fee.
ie HANA could be one of those coops, and they coudl charge an annual fee of $ 10 or something to maintain website with a login for the users? this is if Trakus does not want to start it themselves.."
This was also posted as a comment by me on the
DRF page
or how about a bunch of us here form together a cooperative and try to see how much it would cost to get Trakus to allow so many downloads/hits on their page to view the data and the videos.

Lets not act like your average weekend handicapper is shelling out tons of money for PPs. Hell, I'm interested in ground loss, but I'm not THAT interested.

Well I am paying 15-17% on every dollar that I am betting (and sometimes it goes up to 22%).. that is a way higher commission that the $7 I pay at Scottrade for 2-3 trades a month. (15% of $200 = $30) and I think I am betting the lowest monthly amount among many people. And Scottrade provides tons of data (not analysis), data and charts and real time data for free and level II can be had if you pay $10 a month (I don't).
