Except....people were panicked and beside themselves with a pandemic/virus...I know it's easy to forget that nowadays...plus 30-40M had lost their jobs...
So...advertising on TV "come lose the rest of your money at the track...hey...we're still open!" probably would have led to an outcry to close whatever tracks were still open...at least IMO...so it was probably best not to brag...
People who wanted to bet knew racing was still going...you don't really need to advertise when you're the only game in town...word spreads...
