The real problem here is that the suits involved in the process, both CDI and NBC, are more determined to draw the Housewives from wherever fans than the core bettor.

Well put. It reminds me of the saying of the PGA,

FOR THE GOOD OFF THE GAME. - Seems this is opposite of racing.

In the racing game, its HURRAY FOR US.

As well documented on this forum...

I am not a fan of CDI. This is not their fault. This would be the standard under any agreement with a television network. They want record viewership and they believe, rightly so, that allowing other betting outlets outside of CDI would not be to their advantage and would hurt their bottom line.

It's a reasonable decision. NBC is wrong about not offering the Derby online at no charge. NBC Sports has always been sub-par online, however.

The issue lies with them
