    • They didn't really underwrite NZ racing in my view. They bought a business which could benefit NZ racing but if they don't want to come on board, Entain will make the best of the business they have which they are doing now by growing the sports revenue.
    • You make some very valid points, but never understate the impact of the world class "GRAND TOUR!"   Failing that @Chief Stipe & @hesi are confident asset theft and the under 35s crowd will have the sport hitting new heights
    • Speaking of FRAC ownership looking at the website of the FRAC Club  a 0.03% share of a horse called NEODYMIUM is valued at $345 per share, that values the horse at $1.1m  if my math is correct ?
    • You have to be realistic with Entains figures, of course they were going to see an increase in betting revenue with below windfalls… 1- NZ punters can no longer bet in Australia, Entain was always going to see natural revenue growth.  2- Entain introduced Betcha App, targeting mainly younger punters betting on mainly sport, all sorts of promos available to entice punters.    So it is easy to see why an increase, you would have to be stupid if you thought revenue would go backwards, although with the BS leakage figures that were mentioned, nothing like those gains, which we knew was just a way of cementing a NZ monopoly… as well of course their Safer Gambling shit, which as i have mentioned earlier is just a box ticking exercise. But in the next year or two, Entain going to struggle in NZ, just like they have in Aussie after initial splurge…. below comments will be interesting.    1- Greyhound racing, this will cost Entain millions, and i would say when the greenies see imported Dog racing from Aus, push will be to stop it, as i think they should. Those involved in Dog will most likely leave the racing game also, or at least revenue will reduce, going to be huge. 2- Betcha sign ups have now stagnated, will see less active TAB & Betcha accounts in next 18 months.    3-Ageing population is going to be a big one, older generation mainly have more weekly spend racing loyalists still regularly bet. Compare this to younger type punters, more into sports betting, or major Cup days. Majority wont follow racing all year.    Chiefs going to say i am being negative, but i am being realistic, it will be a huge struggle to see increased betting turnovers, in fact it will be impossible. Have a good day all, enjoy the racing.
