It depends if I was that person.
Seriously, I think the whole things is BS. I just don't know if there is a solution.
Let's say they eliminated rebates and lowered the take across the board for everyone instead (for a theoretical net of zero to the industry bottom line).
I don't think the net would end up being zero.
The take reduction would be worth less than the rebate amounts to the biggest customers. If the biggest customers then left, the handle would take a big hit.
The only thing they could do is give everyone the same large rebate (effectively lowering the take substantially). That would be fair and what everyone has been wishing for for along time. But I think if they lowered the take that much they would certainly take a big hit in the short term and it would probably not be optimal for the tracks over the long term either.
