TVG buys HRTV

I'm locked into PARX or TVG for an ADW. I just signed up for a 2 year contract for an extended Sports package on Fios just to get HRTV. $11 per month and they won't cancel it because HRTV is still there.

I was watching TVG today and AQU kind of just disappeared. I ended up watching Capital OTB on the net. And I'm in PA.

It's gotten worse already and is just confusion. I sat down to play AQu today and didn't get much coverage or info. At one point I thought they cancelled and I wasn't getting odds or live video. Then I got this delayed stuff.

I'm not real picky, but enjoyed sitting all afternoon with HRTV and seeing all the big tracks. That's why i paid extra for it. Plus It's got good people on it.

My initial grade is a D. That is because they left some of the HRTV programs.

Otherwise I think it's a big negative for horseplayers.

Agree with hooves. Jim's a bit defensive on TVG. ???

Sorry to hear this. Iwas going to subscribe to hrtv, bt won't now.

tvg is sole adw for me and i loathe them. This is a step backwards for tv horse racing. Monopolies usually are. The clown show won

Betfair is not a step back. Long term they are beneficial to the sport.

If they can get exchange wagering to their subscribers then they can run Gino and Mr. B pick 4 tickets all day long.

New Jersey finally appears to be getting off its ass on this topic after legalizing it a few years back. I wonder if they could have shoe horned Sports betting into Exchange betting to get around these archaic laws.
