ADW truce to expire in CA

[km]

Remember that wonderful peace treaty that all the California ADWs signed so that all the bet providers would take all the tracks together? It was such a beautiful thing, but alas, they just can't stand harmony in this business...

The 8.5 month experiment, a rousing success for fans and handle, is coming to an end on Sunday.

Negotiations are not going well to extend it. That's because TVG and YOUBET want something in return from BRIS and XPressbet during their long and lucrative exclusive period: DMR-FPX-SAOaktree-HOL winter.

Hey TVG, on Dec 26 are you going to gripe that Xpress and BRIS won't let you have the Santa Anita Winter meet ? Tit for tat.

Here we go again, greed trumps customer service. Screw the players.

I suggest ALL players send a box of condoms to the "Powers That Be" and ask them to be gentle! They wouldn't understand, but it sure would be funny!!

Don't leave the horsemen out of the equation. I'm sure that even if the ADW's where to come to some sharing agreement that the horsemen will just expand their no signal position on any contracts coming up for re-negotiation.
