BINGO, Thank You.
Yes, the Brits have been offering heads up and other types of fixed odds wagering on horse racing for who knows how long.
I don't have a clue where this mentality of "aww, don't try (this) it will never work" came from.
If we applied this current attitude in the world of engineering and construction, there would be no, for example, Hoover Dam.
