why do you want them to show the betting aspect? To me, poker is the LAST 'sport' you want horseracing to emulate. I think horseracing has so much more to offer than poker. I think you want the novice play to see the other aspects, not the fact that 9 out of 10 go home losers, like every other form of gambling.
