Live Video outage at Mnr
This entry was posted on 6/10/2008 8:46 AM and is filed under General.
Live Video was unavailable last night for Mountaineer Park and handle took a major dip, falling by 2/3 from the previous Monday night despite similar cards. This is evidence that there are a good number of casual horseplayers who will pick up the form and play live racing when available. Regulars players of Mountaineer would have bet with or without a live signal - if I handicap a card I plan to bet it whether I can see the races or not. Casual Monday night players just switched to another track or took the night off from betting.
Here are the handle numbers. Note that live handle, as pathetic as it is, was up.
