Re: Why Cantor Gaming will either fail or revamp its bookmaking philosophy
I like this post. I think bad race book managers (whoever they happen to be) might convince themselves that its them against the sharps and they inject that into their business when they should just understand that you don't want to take things personally, its just business and as a good businessman, you want to embrace your customers and thank them for their business.
If you, as a racebook manager, do your job properly, you'll win in the long run. You have the edge, they're paying 11 to win 10, so you don't really need to bring this arrogant "im paid to wear a suit and make gambling decisions so i must be better than you" attitude to the table.
In the long run, the book will win....there's really no reason not to treat everyone with respect. Acting like an elitist asshole isnt going to get you more money and it isnt going to make the quality of your life better.
You can be a nice guy and still make a profit.
The problem with Walker's attitude and policies is that his places ultimately would become places in general to avoid for sports bettor which is a WRONG and unnecessary message to send to players. Alienating customers doesn't work.It backfires. It actually skews the greedy fuzzy math they use to justify their conduct. Places and especially the super nice places that Walker ran absolutely should NOT send that signal.Reading between the lines Walker embraces that arrogant attitude.Please come to my place but promise to lose.It's like a bad faith insurance company that refuses to pay a legit claim- he wants things both ways.
I'll give credit-at least Walker consistently admits his crappy self serving attitude.He even spells it out in black and white.:whip:
Looking back it is not surprising that the head up their ass upper management idiots at all times were on board with Walker and his poor narrow minded thinking attitude.
Walker probably thinks I don't get his message.That unto itself is a bad thing.
The best mangers understand that you can be a players manger without giving away the farm.
