Gary- and others: Exacta pools

Gary-- im curious- as this debate rages on-- as to why you feel that these exactas are going to be more profitable during heavy volume days at the track?

1. Doesn't a larger percentage of the track take % come from the exotic pools? And to follow-- if thats the case-- wouldn't that make the exotics LESS profitable in most cases?

2. Gary-- unless im misreading you- you believe that the exacta pools are somehow more profitable on heavy volume days at the track? Can you explain to me why? Im not questioning your math-- i just dont understand how a larger handle makes them more profitable. Don't they take the same % out of the pools? Do you simply believe that there are overlays in the exacta pools as well- on 'public' days?
And- even if that IS the case-- if the % take on these exotic pools is higher than the straight wagers- why play them at all? This question applies to 'public' and 'non-public' days.

Im completely unaware of the answers to these questions. They aren't loaded. Im just ignorant- and trying to learn. Thanks in advance to all who respond.
