Why is Bill Finley calling us losers??

[Bobby Fischer]

im willing to go along with the premise of the article if it means lowering take or raising/HAVING rebates.


What the business of racing fails to see is the new customers created by the online wagering sites. Rebates and a nice interface and all of a sudden new players want to try their hand...

The industry doesn't seem to think outside the box. Racing isn't even regularly broadcast on national television and it is 2007. The industry seems to view investments, rebates, lowering take as losses. No forward thinking. It's like the driver who only looks one foot in front of his car and then has to slam on his/her brakes at a red light.

There is only one solution to the racing industry. Slots.



just kidding

Slots help to bring in what I would consider the desperate gambler, the entertainment gambler, and the stupid gambler. For the life of me I cannot figure out the fascination with these idiot machines. Sorry for sounding high and mighty but I just flat out do not get it and I dont think I ever will.

Of course I hate/hated Survivors, Dancing with the Stars, American Idiot... so I am completely out of touch. I would watch horse racing even if it did not include wagering. I love athletic competition that does not involve judging to determine a winner. Large animals that move so rapidly and powerfully is a thing of beauty for me. The finish line at a horse race is awesome.
