Sports Betting Poll. How can it help racing? Brick and Mortar only for 2 years?

It would have to be brick and mortar only for a couple years to benefit horse racing. Think Casino's, Tracks/OTB's would support that. If not racing loses IMO

Its just a matter of time when Monmouth has locked up the brick and mortar business along with the internet money.

Its just a matter of time.

Will the state dictate what the takeout will be...or will this all-important matter be left up to the individual betting institutions? Because if setting the takeout for the track-operated sports bets is left up to the horsemen...then the future of this new gambling venture will be darker than even I could envision.

I would have voted for a third option - it won't make any difference. I'm of the opinion that vast majority, 90+ percent, of sports bettors that go to a brick and mortar shop OR wager online will never bet the ponies anyway.

The way racing is marketed and regulated in this country today is not helping to grow the handle, and any law requiring brick and mortar shops, a portion of the handle to go to racing, sports betting at the track only, sports betting managed by the horse racing commissions, etc., will only hurt racing's image that much more. Racing must standalone, or at least appear to stand alone, to survive. Otherwise it's just a parasite.

The racinos have provided an example of how NOT to expand gaming, and the interests behind sports betting will be avoiding the millstone of the ponies if at all possible.

The fact is the hold on sports betting is fairly low. Corporate casinos tolerate them because they bring in foot traffic but they would prefer the space be dedicated to slot machines. In the short run sports betting can be a loser for the house. Little Caesars in Vegas closed a whole ago.

It can marginally help NJ racing by bringing in younger people plus people from neaeby states that want to wager on spirts. Some of these people will bet on horses which as we know has a very high house hold.

William Hill may set the odds and handle the action...but this doesn't mean that they'll get to decide on what the takeout will be. My money says that the horsemen won't go along with sports-betting's lower takeout...because it will cast a negative light on the much higher takeout of their game of choice. And, what happens then?

Well now we get to find out. The Supreme Court clears the way for states to legalize sports betting today.

why would the horsemen raise the takeout past the casinos which are the competition?

Its a dog eat dog world out there in sports betting.

My guess is that Tracks will charger more juice than Casino's. Can't wait to read about all the infighting over who will charge what?

Untrue. Both racetracks and casinos in NJ will be under the same supervision and once the “official” state tax is decided on we will know the States take! Right now a proposal for an integrity fee by NJ lawmakers and not the sports leagues would require a payment of the lesser of 7.5 million or 2.5% of the sports revenue whichever is lower.
