Betting up 70%
« on: April 24, 2021, 07:35:17 AM »
Amount wagered on US harness racing up 70% over last year.  Many tracks like Northfield, Hoosier, Miami showing large increases.  Will purses start increasing as well?

BETTORS ARE THE PEOPLE THIS SPORT NEEDS THE MOST AND EVERY EFFORT SHOULD BE TO DO MORE FOR THEM.

HORSEMEN ARE ALREADY GIVEN TOO MUCH THAT THEY HAVENT DONE ANYTHING TO EARN

Last year this time there was NO betting( Or darn little) because of One Hung Low Virus!

SO anything would be a increase.

Sitting in Toronto...

Fact

Hoosier, Northfield, Saratoga, Harrahs Philly into their on-track pools via hpibet....and offshore  u.s. west virginia greyhounds and more high risk sports betting like golf. All have taken dollars from me previously destined for Mohawk, Flamboro, Fraser, Century coffers.

Tioga looks tasty coming up (5/8ths always a betting soft spot)..will stay out of cheaper t-bred tracks as long as possible.

And thats a shame for our local shows.

I love when the idiots post.

2020
302,733 million bet
477 race days
634k bet per day

2021
515,057 million bet
679 race days
758k bet per race day

634k/758k  = 17% increase

Not the 70% the USTA falsely promotes

those figures above are not a 17% increase either - get a new calculator

  • Trigger: MAGA lesson #1 to avoid arguing with whatever you call them, let's say Dumbocraps, Trump's OPINIONS are FACTS and his actions are always LAWFUL! {No need to think or argue ever again :) }

  • Trigger: MAGA is getting me free of charge, they're in for a penny, nope, I'm pushing them for a full MAGA pound.  OAN is the new US state media, no one who did not sign DOD policy is worthy quotable here.
