Sports betting goes live Dec 1st in Missouri.
It has been beyond murky if ADW\'s for horse racing would be included. It has been reported to me by our good friend at NYRA, that Yes, Indeed, NYRA Bets will be working towards being available in Missouri. He did caution that NJ has taught them he can\'t say how soon is relatively soon.
That said, one would presume that FanDuel, TwinSpires, Xpressbet will all be setting up shop in Missouri also.
So, our good pal [Fairmount GM], who just LOVESSSS the CAW\'s and has openly said so will have to do some magic to get the St. Louis folks to cross the river once someone goes live in Missouri. Fairmount has basically IGNORED and shown Disdain towards the folks putting the most valuable dollars into the pools at the track. Your Move [FP GM]! What you gonna do to earn our business now? My honest guess is Nothing.
NOTE: [FP GM] is a Kentucky guy who worked at Keeneland presumably alongside the Wagering Development Officer or whatever JG\'s title is these days. Just keep kissing up to the CAW\'s? Or going to try to earn live customer business? Which will it be? My bet is on CAW\'s based on the first season of business.
