Phone Apps
In order for sports betting to maximize handle and revenue,
phone and online wagering have to be on board soon.
People can already bet that way offshore, albeit illegally.
Strictly bricks and mortar operations would be like legalizing
alcohol, but only allowing sales in bars. Liquor sales could not
happen in stores and restaurants. Basically, that won't work.
This is not a panacea for horse racing.
There is still much work to be done to improve,
and ultimately save, the sport. Under current conditions,
young people (under 40s) aren't interested. That is not
likely to change, either. Racing is pretty much an acquired
taste - by and large among the over-60 brigade.
