So why haven't on-course bookies been doing this from day dot? Answer - because the terms of their licencing as bookmakers requires them to take on all comers. Would there be one on course bookmaker left in this country if that had not been the case? Of course not.
Why can the corps get away with what they are? Because a lazy, greedy NT Govt enabled all of the abhorrent business practices that now are a real threat to the industry. Buck stops there & despite what changes NSW make, the NT Govt need to face up to their responsibilities to the racing industry. |
