The upgrades will be few and far between in the racing grandstands.

Impressive.
Especially if that number is 4%, or higher, of the total amount handled.

I suspect that it is a high % hold.
There has to be a lot of rookie bettor money in these new markets.

FanDuel paid this out for the following reasons - lawyer fees and PR.

Not true, as long as the dollar volume is high enough.
You're correct if small, isolated, areas are the only participants.

Leagues want their money back

They should just hit up Peterson and Rice for a little more fine money.

All games are at risk for manipulation - especially when point spreads

The deck is always stacked against sports betting - and it's wrong.

That's true.
Quite a few more would, however, if they didn't have to break the law to bet.

So, you think legalized sports wagering will be the end of horse racing?
I can't agree with that.

Of course it's their product - and they can do what they want.

But, the argument they put forward about opposition to

How does anything drag down the NFL?

The Big Game

You are correct, sir ;)

Just another small example of how lame
the NFL's position is in all of this.

MLB hasn't kicked up about the World Series.

There's no reason why this business
