Having imported the magicians figures into excel I have done some work to find the important trends that will indicate what is going on between 2010 and 2011 figures for the periods supplied.
The biggest problem is that the world cup is present in the 2010 figures so my findings will ignore football altogether as it is a bias sample.
core sports(horses,hounds,golf and other) 2010 vs 2011 -2.74% growth match type events(tennis,cricket,basketball) 2010 vs 2011 36.75% growth
It can be seen that the biggest markets the match type events are increasing very well as usual and the core sports betting hounds and greyhounds have peaked in reality.
Persons betting on matched sports can expect continued growth in these areas that will offset pc2 quite quickly so well done betfair and the customers.
Racing for my money suffers the most because the tv rights belong to the bookmakers via sis and its been the case for a long time, betfair need to explore new ways to bring these great sports into contact with bettors and we need a results service like the other sites have.
Also can I mention that the poor old dog racing doesn't even have a radio service and what is an exciting quick sport is truelly missed form customers ears and eyes.
Persons betting in match type events can continue to watch and hear there sports on freeview,sky, virgin, radio and this is why these sports are not ring fenced in a media sense like the racing
If you feel that the core sports of racing is being let down and want changes please use this thread to voice your opinions and what changes you think will help these sports markets for customers

Put the magicians latest table figures into excel, strip out football and you will find there accurate to 2 decimal places,4 weeks is a better sample than 2 weeks and irrespective of the pc2 threshold there is the same usual growth and maturity as there was before, but my argument is that th core sports needs revamping as its lagging in growth for very obvious reasons, the bookmakers have a similar problem but thats because they bombard there customers with mickey mouse racing and gambling machines to plunder the quick spin aspect of gambling aka addiction so there core sports is diluted, bad show I say
