Racing is struggling but ....

But there is plenty of gambling money out there...

Look it this from an article about bet365 on the racingpost on last years financial returns.

"Active sports gamblers were up 43 per cent to 4.1 million while amounts wagered on sports for the period exceeded £34 billion, up 33 per cent."

Eish to think no one punted sports 30 years ago and the only soccer bet you could take was an ATC on the soccer with a min 5 team selections

talk about struggling I think that the UK lotto is as well. Firstly they stick up the price to £2 a ticket and now from Saturday they increase the number of balls by 10 to 59. Greedy operators that will see their arse within 2 years for sure. The odds are 14 million to 1 to win it now but from Saturday it will be 45 million to 1 and they, the operators, say it will be easier to win it. :lol: My head on a block that tonights draw will be a roll over to Saturday and on Saturday there will be at least 2 winners and they will come out and say we told you so. Fix.

Gee wizz - I'm no expert on surveys but using only 63 people as a sample seems lazy and pathetic - I would not ever pay for such research!!

But surely that's way too little - It's like taking a sample of two Matric (Grade 12) classes and making a comment on education in SA - I would think at least 200 from about 5 or more townships(1000 total) to get a proper perspective
