Now to be honest, I love sports betting. The dynamic between giving or getting points versus using the moneyline to pick a straight up winner certainly fascinates me. Additionally, I love blackjack. But when it comes down to it all, I'd much rather lay my dollars on the line on any horse race than any other gambling proposition.
Here's my reasoning: every race is a puzzle that is just waiting to be unlocked. Additionally, where else can you find 7-1 odds where there is a realistic chance to actually make money in the long run? Each race is a unique combination of hundreds of factors where even if you're not exactly right, you can still make some money. How do you effectively hedge a bet in the Eagles-Bengals game tonight? Unless you're knee deep in all kinds of exotic, ridiculous wagers, you can't. How do you do it on the track? Two win bets = bet hedged. Wanna Dutch two runners you like? Easy.
I think the real issue, like has been brought up here hundreds of times, is not that the spread of gambling is taking away from the horsemen's action, but instead the newer wagering opportunities attract newer gamblers that understand slots or poker or sports betting, but have never been educated as to how horse racing works. Like I've said before, show me one person who has been to the races with an experienced horse player that didn't have an absolute blast. Bet you have to look pretty hard. Adding to that, Gambling is not an absolute zero sum game. A dollar wagered on a point spread in college football is not a dollar taken out of the pari-mutuel pools. Horse racing's woes are not 100% correlated with the spread of legalized gambling, but instead due to the apathy and lack of exposure by the general public.
