And I'M just saying---

Yes, I think they will get upset, and while they haven't got much economic clout within the industry, they have got enough political clout (that pesky one man, one vote thing) to pressure politicians. So it figures to go

1-- rebates (and Betfair etc.) pull more and more handle from big bettors away from the tracks

2-- tracks finally get it, and cut out the middle men

3-- small bettors start screaming, and track officials (and if not them, opportunistic politicians) react. My guess is the landscape will look different in a couple of years.

First you get the money, then you get the power...
