I dont feel like people are not betting on horses and instead betting on casino games.

When 50% of the country has to go to the track or some OTB to bet I think its a much bigger loss than it would be if there is online betting on casino games.

Horse players bet on horses because its a game of skill and not just mathematics. I guess you could argue poker could be a main competitor but for years there was online poker play, dont think that affected racing at all.
