Nah do a show about horse slaughter and how the Palins are indirectly the cause of it.

I have always been intrigued by the stories of the cats who decide to make a living at this game, or gambling in general. The stories they could tell. Would make a fascinating book, a collection of stories from cats who made the decision to pursue it.

I agree with volume discounts as well. Yet many here don't get them anymore as offshore is far more difficult to fund than it used to be.
They are easier to find than going offshore. Legal, U.S.-based ADW's offer rebates to their premium customers. Here's the NYRA Rewards schedule as an example.

That would be a great show. I would think purely on a $/hour bases it would end up more profitable wearing an orange or blue apron for most.
