If there were some segment of the market that was awaiting greater regulation to start betting on a regular basis I may agree. But you seem to forget the customer placing the bet is the core business, not the race being run. The race is a by product of the bet. You cant tell if the race is being run by horses who are on steroids or not on them. Cost is what drives everything, Travis. That was the purpose of the analogy. if you price your self out of the market it doesnt matter what the product on the track looks like. And let me tell you the drug problem in this game has very little to do with the drugs being discussed.
