I believe that allowing Sports Betting on Track and Satellite only (not online so we can get people to the facilities) will get people to go to the Track in droves to make a sports bet.
The thing about having a Casino at a Track is that these people like a different kind of action. A machine player needs action every 5 seconds.
A Sports Bettor has action every 3 or 4 hours so Horse Racing is a natural fit. The Sports Bettor will embrace Horse Racing because it is a game of skill where he has action every half hour. I would imagine more than a few people will stay at the Track to watch their game. They will eat, drink, and maybe play a few races!
This will attract a new group of people to the Track (young people included)!
I think this makes too much sense so they will never try it!
I am sure this will work and save Racing if they give it a try.
What do you think?
