What is the significance of the following message posted on a betfair forum? Does it mean that at some point California racing authorities will be receiving a commission from betfair for bets placed on California races?
http://site.forum.betfair.com/jive3/index.jspa
As part of our ongoing negotiations with representatives of the Californian horseracing authorities, we have agreed - for a short period of time - to cease offering markets from Californian tracks on Betfair. Californian tracks offered previously by Betfair include Bay Meadows, Del Mar, Golden Gate, Hollywood and Santa Anita. We recognise this will disappoint many customers who enjoy betting on these events and apologise for the inconvenience this lack of service will cause.
We are working to improve the quality and quantity of our US racing products and hope to be able to announce some significant improvements to our service, later this year.
The markets on Californian racing will not be offered from Monday, May 19. They will be reintroduced no later than the end of the summer, possibly much earlier and updated service announcements will be made on the Betfair forum. All other US racing markets will continue to operate as before.
