Standardbred Canada – Pari-Mutuel Wagering Coming To Ontario Sports Bettors

Phil has a question:

If parimutuel wagering comes to Ontario sports bettors in 2023 will it come to Alberta sports bettors by 3202 or will they still have to use grey market offshore accounts while the UCP watches billions of tax dollars flee the province.

Do you think that gazing out a window will get parimutuel wagering on horses for sports bettors in Alberta any quicker.

Canadian Gaming Business – AGLC & BtoBet announce imminent launch of new sportsbook on PlayAlberta.ca

Phil has a question:

Why are the alleged private enterprise favouring UCPs continuing to keep private enterprise and competition out of the gambling industry in Alberta.

Will Alberta have private enterprise bricks and mortar sportsbooks before 3202.

Mr. Farmer

I have a garden. We have fresh tomatoes and strawberries. People are different here… People out in California, they grow up quicker. They have a lot of excess, and they have a lot more things than we do here in Hungary. There, they start doing makeup when they’re 13, when we would still be out in the countryside making sausage.

“I have tried a lot of different ways to operate a stable in different parts of the country and it’s like trying to put a square peg in a round hole,” said owner Maggi Moss, whose horses have earned $53.8 million since 2000. “Do you just want to go outside with a garbage can and burn money or should you place it into something more profitable? I’ve seen a lot of people come and go in this game and I’m an anomaly because I’ve been in it for so long. I’m still standing, but I’m getting dizzy.”

Sumja said that after he posted his tweet he heard from dozens of people who said they also have quit betting on racing and that they were happy that he spoke out. The horse racing industry used to get $500,000 a year in handle from Brent Sumja. Now it gets none. How much longer can this keep happening and how many more Brent Sumjas can it afford to lose before real and lasting harm is done to the sport? These are real problems and so far the sport hasn’t been able to offer any serious solutions.
