Racing And Poker Compete

In Britain horse racing is the major form of gambling, but some are worried that may change. As hundreds of millions of pounds are being spent on internet poker, the money certainly isn’t going into horse racing. If many racing outfits follow the trend, poker rooms will be set up where attendees can just walk in and join a live game of poker without having to fill out any forms; some feel this is a serious threat to horse racing.


Poker is more portable, more accessible, and is being advertised in a massively attractive way to young men and woman. These newcomers to gambling will certainly try poker before spending a day at the races, and most likely will stick with what they try first. In the gambling industry as a whole in Britain, it looks like poker may be the right horse to bet on.
