BC,
I cant image them giving up too much in the way of the dividend, but it would help strengthen the weaker meetings if they took a progressive attitude to the payouts.

for example...
if the pool for that race product is less than $10,000 then the dividend should be available in cents up to the $2 mark.
if the pool is greater than $10,000 and less than $20,000 the dividend should be in 2 cent units and above $20,000 the divvie should be in 5 cent units.

I suspect it would encourage more betting at the smaller meetings, increasing turnover which pays for the incentive.

It would be nice to see at least one of the TAB's trial such a system for a month or two.

see ya
