Schreut, I had the same idea back in January of 2009... I called it a "Gimmie". When I asked the same question you have asked, in this thread, I received this answer from WGT:

Hi Snaike, thanks for the suggestion. At the moment, this is not something we would consider doing. We think "gimmies" tend to take some measure of realism out of the game, and given the number of higher priority items on our development list, it is not something we plan to consider.
It seems nothing has changed.
Peace
