Sure, I was as a regular track attendee back in the 90s. But in 1998 the Detroit Race Course closed for good.
Today it's a different game. Instead of walking up to the betting window, it's 100% online and I place bets through an ADW. Small fields and multiple scratches per race is more common. Favorites seem to win at a higher % and the payouts for vertical exotics are much lower, even when horses at double-digit odds are involved.
In order to justify the cost of JCapper software and a subscription to HDW I feel I'd need to be betting at least a hundred dollars a race. Honestly, I'm not at that level. I mostly play $20 to win and $5 exactas. I'm a casual player that enjoys the sport but by no means a pro.
