WHAT IS REALLY HIDDEN BEHIND THE DOWN OF THE HORSE RACING BET?

[cosmicsports]

The drop is big and started from the 2008-9 season.
Then the turnover of the Greek races was 2.5 million the racing race, now it is by force 250,000-300,000 euros (!).
But we also went through intermediate stages.
In 2010 we went to 1.5 million, in 2012 to 600,000 and from 2014 onwards we stabilized in small numbers of 300,000.
Why ;
In other sports betting games - basically in football betting - that is, this phenomenon did not occur.
They sound different.

One that sounds is Markopoulos. Its distance from Athens is great. Few go, it is not a "magnet" like the Faliriko Delta was.
What resulted from this?
Two things.
For the already Filipinos that they lost their contact with the playing field. I did not like this but without a doubt everyone continued.
In order to create new philippines it was very bad. Faliro was a nice excursion into Athens. Markopoulo is an overseas adventure.
Have you tried to go by bus? Nice trip but 2-2.5 hours.
Therefore, the new Philippians finally dilute the old ones as much as they do.
He will not easily become the new friend of the racecourse from the television alone or from the live streaming, as with the nice excursion to Faliro (plus the television to show live).

Another thing that sounds is the memorandum.
Indeed, in the years of the memorandum, the case was made "ok if you receive despite not having".
And it was not just a memorandum I point out. It was "project fear" at the same time. How many times have we not heard people say "get ready for bed on the benches of Zappeion in a little while"?
But the "let's bet" survived this cyclone, OPAP declared a 25% drop and not 95% like the hippodrome.

The big tax collectors are also to blame.
Betting fans are proven to have little to no sensitivity to them. They don't cut the bet.
But to a significant degree, the ... bucket cuts them, gradually.
This is because the bucket caused by reduced yields is a bucket whether one sees it or not.

The lack of an online betting platform.
The Greek Hippodrome is the only one in the world without an online betting platform.
The French have been here for thirty years.
I first saw French in 2001 and they had a platform, for residents of France only of course.
This with the internet is a relatively new fruit however. It does not explain the fall as much as it does why we are not making any progress now and we are stagnant.

Let us now turn to the big, really big, cause of the fall of horse racing betting.
This is nothing more than a "go bet" and an internet football bet.
In the year 2000, 22 years ago, the racecourse set a record for revenue. But then it was the only -officially- kind of sports betting to win instantly. There was no other.
Now?
Horse racing bets are miles higher than football bets, when the rake is the same of course. But football is simpler, it took them all.
The nonsense "why not play both?" Was heard by some. But this is ... brutal nonsense. The money and the time that will be found ???

You will tell me "football betting is part of the landscape" and therefore it does not count, as does the memorandum that at some point the situation would be corrected (lame-crooked).
Yes, fine, let it be part of the landscape.
I tell you what happens and not what is part of the landscape and what is not.
What do we conclude with all this?
That there is salvation or that there is not?
I can not tell you that it exists, just as I can not make your coronavirus test negative once the doctor has tested positive.
I have said something about the internet over and over again, but it certainly does not mean going back to the good old days (where we are).

However, instead of doing what they can to make horse racing betting more attractive, they have done it as tangled as possible!

The racecourse had always hit rock bottom! It is a type of betting, which people consider to be completely fixed, that is, they believe that if 9 horse races are held in one day, all 9 will be fixed, and by the term fixed, they believe that whatever they play, they will lose, with as a result they avoid him. People think that you don't win from the racecourse, that is, if they play one day, they think that they won't win money.

So this perception has summarily cleared the hippodrome!

In the meantime, can I tell you something else? Will someone get up at 6 in the morning to go to work at 7 and at 3 to go to school and go to the horse race? No man, he'll go home, eat and sleep. The racecourse is for lazy people, for pensioners, for the unemployed, i.e. for a category that does not survive at the racecourse, it is not for people who work from morning and are in pieces at noon. It is something that moves against the flow of society for that matter and does not slip. It is a very demanding job.

Nothing to do with what you write. I have written down on my own forum about what is really wrong and there is no reason to write them again. When the racecourse was in Faliro, the only thing that not preventing the player from going down was his job! The races were three times a week and all you had to do was adjust your schedules. What has been lost from the climate of that era today is a: the capsule(!!)
Will the chick tell you, baby, come on, I've got sex to fuck me, and you'll say no, I have a job? These do not exist, you will find a way and go! What has changed today is that OPAP has accomplished the impossible: it has made chick (horse racing) repulsive and ugly to such an extent that the fun it once offered has become a chore! To be fair, Markopoulos is to a large extent to blame and OPAP to a lesser extent, but he is also to a large extent to blame

Whatever you say is to blame (or "to blame") we bet on it most of all.
The racecourse is more difficult and that's why it's worth it - under normal conditions of course and not the way they've done it.
It is not true that the easiest betting event is also the best (in terms of winning chances, of course). Then we should play crown-letters. Chess champions should not be celebrities, but champions in ... naval combat.
Nevertheless everyone foolishly believes otherwise.

As long as we still had ODIE, the racetrack was fine. Even with Zaharis, since we have to take into account that the shop was already half closed and he couldn't do anything.
OPAP was the one who put dynamite and destroyed everything.
But the others are also to blame. The various well-known and non-exceptional prepositions. The pareulas always took the side of "power", but a "power" that had clearly gone the wrong way. They also did damage to defend various private petty interests, which, however, did not coincide with the general interest of the racecourse. This is the story of the last thirty years.

It will close now.
It is also the state that does not want a racecourse to exist (it has been proven).
It does not forbid him but slowly strangles him.
She doesn't care about racetrack money. This money is not enough now and he is counting on getting it easily from kino or from Parnitha.

The sprayed ones are to blame

The sprayed ones are to blame

The psek group are the chumps of the racetrack.
They would even raid the hospital to ... slaughter me, they said (at the time of their power).

Unfortunately, what you see is what you see.
I will tell you this:
Even if all the stupid things that happen today were happening, but the whole world was shouting "where are our horse races bro, eh?". The situation would be corrected in five-six months, as it had happened another time, in 1965.
Now who cares?
Gone are the days for me to go around to multiple racetrack agencies and cut traffic, but in my neighborhood (downtown) there are four - the two former championship winning agencies.
The two good ones have between three and four customers. The third zero customers. The fourth, about a dozen - thanks to "master" Sakis Arvythis, who is the manager.
But also last summer I was looking for an agency in Samos. I find from the OPAP list about a dozen, in Vathi, Karlovasi, Pythagoreio. I call, everyone tells me "dude we have cut the racecourse for two years".
