The idiots who run racing GB agreed to a return to the sport based on bookmaker profits, not turnover.
And despite all of the things above, the bookmakers are able to declare their own profits in this deal. What do you think is therefore the most likely scenario, iyo...? |

they will always fund racing to a bare minimum,like a patient in a coma on a life support machine ,they will do just enough to keep the show on the road,but racing punters will slowly drift away to football/machines etc.
most people in britain have a first contact with betting on racing - is when they go on a stag do/special day out to the races,from there they might go in a bookies,so racing attracts them but the bookies loose them from racing.not many go in bookies for footy or machines then move over to racing.the proof is racecourse attendance up - overall betting on racing down. |

I seem to recall that contingent to the knocking off betting tax it was agreed that bookmakers would relocate their operations back to the UK, however the agreement was only for a period of years, which has now expired thus they are off-shore once again.
