I couldn't have said it any better.
"Racetrack officials who believe they have met the enemy have not met the truly dangerous competition at all. Lotteries and casino games will not be life-threatening to horse racing, but sports betting may. Betting on sports is also a positive-expectation game. Skillful players can win. Players can study the sport, collect the information they need, analyze specific situations, and bet on outcomes when they think they have the edge.
Sports bettors are eerily similar to horse bettors. The players form highly practiced opinions, and like to bet on them. If track officials want to know where the authentic competition for the racetrack lurks, it's sports betting. Someday, maybe soon, maybe not so soon, sports betting in America will be legalized. Thoroughbred racing had best be properly prepared."
