Based on conversations that I've had with a few of the marketing people at the Teletheater, it seems that this is a copyright issue with the Track-Data people who produce the PPs. That being said, the issue is really about OTB paying to redistribute the PPs. Rather than assuming that burden itself, it is asking the customers to pay for something OTB would be better off providing as a courtesy for its better players. No doubt that its handle will be adversely impacted. When you consider how much OTB gets from each dollar bet, this is yet another example of them being pennywise but pound foolish.
