I doubt very much if it will take that long. Many mos ago I pitched the idea to NTRA Marketing & I am told that a variation of what I proposed, which was based on the contests which already take place, is under serious consideration. The keys, imho, will be good & aggressive editing, a host as knowledgeable about all of the different types of handicapping as Mike Sexton is about hold em poker, & a format which will produce the David(avg Joe) vs Goliath(pro) match ups which make the WPT interesting to a large audience. The popularity of the WPT has everyone jumping on the bandwagon, & there is a reasonable chance that there will be a gambling channel next yr. I think racing could do as well or better than the WPT, & find it impossible to believe that it could ever be as bad, or as boring, as the recently televised $1 million blackjack tourney.
