After both not understanding my point about educating fans, and criticizing it, you offered some vague possibilities and events that do happen, and attempts that have been tried many times and failed, and did not offer a single idea of your own as to how racing is going to make money without gambling.

Once again, if you create fans, and then don't teach them in any way how to bet even mildly effectively, then they will not contribute to the health and survival of the game. I did not say that my ideas about fan education are even close to the be-all-and-end-all for racing, but I believe they are the correct direction racing needs to take, and is currently not doing so.

Unless you have an original thought about how racing can help itself, and not telling us about putting races on TV, which has been done and is done, then it seems pretty ridiculous that you continue to make the assertions you do. The truth is if you don't understand that racing will only survive, or strengthen itself, by creating fans that bet, then you really don't understand the dynamics of this industry.
