Re(1): Dania 2024-25 season Posted on January 13, 2024 at 11:05:47 AM by Craig G
One of the weirdest and most unfortunate aspects of the plight of the parimutuels is that despite any efforts to revitalize, a huge chunk of the betting is via the internet, where they don't get a big enough cut.
Even applies to Wheeling greyhounds, where they have had some record handles after the Florida track closed down. The owners still want to close because most of that extra revenue is going to the middlemen instead of to them.
So if there were just some magic way to have Dania, Miami, Magic City, and the rest be able to host their own internet betting system, they could cash in on the increasing trend to bet at home via computer. And have a much clearer path to viability.
It's a shame that this one arbitrary circumstance screws up everything.
