Without wagering racing does not continue in its current format. Betting is paramount to the success of the sport. While nobody would argue that people loved watching steriod induced HR races etc. the sport doesn't require direct participant gambling to be successful. I do wonder a little about the NFL.

It is a very good discussion.
