Godd point Tiger, my opion is that there are too many games per night. I like it because I am "whole performance" type of player. But let's make no mistake about it, 75% of thier handle is otb and simulcast. And the problem I always see id that by the 12th game it is blacked out anyways because the dogs are done running. So realistically the last two games are rarely open to the off track bettor. So whay have those two extra games a night for the 25 people in the stands and 50 usin thier online accounts. If you watch Dania tommorrow nite you will see that the total tri pool for the final game might be $3800 but the wager pool opens at $2400. Because of all the people like me who bet the entire performance or the people who advance wager before the dogs are done running at the track. You can't even usually cash your ticket for the last game or two at the track because it is after 11pm and all the tellers are closed out and ready to go home. So I think they should shorten evening performance's to 11 games.
