Well, how the **** are we gonna get gamblers? You're not taking any gamblers away from the casinos, online poker, or anything like that. It's not happening.

We get gamblers by creating new fans, many of whom slowly evolve into gamblers or a combination of the two. That's what happened to me, and I'm pretty sure that's what happened to most of you as well.

There's no way to create horseplayers. You have to create fans first.

You don't think that bringing racing to them(having it on tv at home on channels like TVG) is a lot easier than bringing them to the races? Bringing racing to them will certainly make new fans a lot quicker than trying to convince someone to go to Aqueduct for the first time.
