I had to laugh during that show tonight. Do you really think they care about network programming? It seems all they care about is Los Al and that's it. Heck, they don't even show a full card from Parx on a Tuesday instead showing a bunch of $5 track handles.

I also got a crack out of saying they were the only place you could watch certain tracks. Hello? Almost any serious horse/trot/dog bettor has a decent computer at home to watch the in-house feeds. Not to mention those feeds in recent months have become 7-12 seconds faster that what you are showing on TV.

All betfair cares about is there exchange wagering and that is it. They also probably want sports betting with it too.

they care about making money. the more you (novice betters) lose following their picks, the more they win.
