50 Million. Funny that a cable tv station that is available in 30 million homes is worth the same as Big Brown.

I know it's illegal now, but if Americans were somehow able to bet against horses in the manner that Betfair allows, that would rock.

sh*t, I'm in the great state of f'n Missouri, and we can even bet on the horses as the rest of the world allows, so I'm not even getting my hopes up for this...

any chance that Todd Schrup can get the "william wallace treatment" now that TVG is under English rule?

the first known instance of hanging, drawing and quartering. what a way to go....that movie sucked by the way.

i don't like the tvg show where the blond guy (name escapes me) wanders around the set while he blathers on about upcoming races. ugh.

Betfair allows customers to bet against a selected outcome by essentially becoming the bookmaker. In other words, if I think Horse A is going to lose in the 8th race at Fair Grounds, I can bet against that horse by accepting someone's bet ON Horse A at whatever odds the market is offering. If the odds on Horse A are 4-1, and he wins, then I have to pay out $4 for every $1 I "boooked" on Horse A.

But this is currently only available to customers outside the U.S., as it is illegal here.

Considering that they get an ADW along with the tv it looks like a pretty good deal.
