Disagree greatly on sports betting.
That is an even bigger dead end than horse racing as it involves way more people and friends around somebody than a somewhat singular lifestyle of a horse race bettor.
People become way more attached to teams and football games than they ever would with a particular horse, much less a race because there is everybody around them, or on regular TV talking about it.
I have hundreds of people I know on a "handshake" basis. Friends if you will. But I have about a dozen or two that I would even talk to about regarding horse racing.
