Recently, I was thinking back about all of the big bettors I knew in the past. Of the roughly 60 players I could think of, half of them are dead, 20 of them ran out of money, and the last 10 bet less than a quarter of what they used to.I also know for a fact that most tracks are empty, and no new people are entering the game. I remember way back, there were groups of kids that would show up everyday, that certainly doesn't happen anymore.The track sure isn't doing shit to bring new people in either. Today Randy Waples went out to interview a guy and told him what a 'good drive' he had despite that fact that it was a horrendous drive on a 1/5 that couldn't lose. Does anyone in management see and hear what these morons like Elisa Blowe and Randy Waples do and say on a daily basis?I feel like every race I watch is a qualifier, there's no actual racing. Like people should actually be ecstatic about races going single file without fail every race?Everyone I know is getting annihilated nowadays, and nobody is betting on these horses that go 8/5 to 1/5.The race track's got the Robin Hood mentality right now, steal from the poor and give to the rich.With all this, how the hell does the handle keep going up, by all rights it should be at 0?
The truth to everything is wagering is down miles, and there is no real interest in the sport. Executives at the track know this, and do their best to cover it up by shoving this inflated handle in our faces. Nobody is interested in this single file racing shit with no stress involved, as everyone is pulling back to give up friendship holes.
Some say buggy racing is dying others say it’s dead, just don’t look in Schrödinger’s box
Excellent, Yonkers 1. Both dead and alive at the same time.
