Online Betting -double Sided Sword

By Anilxk | 10-May-2020

Dear Firends,

 

Many HTian's are eager to see online betting in India.

Before accepting, we must analyse the consequences of it.I here by entering my sincere comment's and observation's about online betting.

I am doing online betting in a limited manner.

After online betting started , there may be more racing addiction arouses for common punter.Revenue from betting may increase but professionals will loose concentration on their bread winning job

In a study where online betting is running like Germany/UK/USA/France, betting addiction of any partner causes 38% divorces. Happiness in family may suffer as one partner always concered about racing acctivities as betting accessable round the clock.

So to overcame this kind of problem's govt must issue permits which are linked with PAN AND AADHAR CARD AND AUTHORISED BANK ACCOUNT .If so punter may not get bankrupted. You comments please

Leave Indian racing aside, covid 19 is all over the world, but at the same time you can see uninterrupted activities in USA, JAPAN, AUSTRALIA, now FRANCE also started. 

Forget racing action in India for minimum 1year and concentrate in one of the international events where you can predict and try to make money.

Only for the punters who are looking for an alternative.

Thanks

Dear All,

Alcohol is a very good friend.

But in a house various sections are alloted for various purposes.

Visiting room, drawing room,dressing room,Worship sanctum,and bed room.Friend's are not allowed at all rooms.If so family will collapse.

Same we think about betting

it is just a hobby, not a do or die job.It should be restricted to free time better not to allow at the present scenario online betting.It will create lot of ripples in family and society.Think about family, think about society.

@punterbychoice  ,

The Clubs,  breeders, and trainers are helplessly watching the current situation because they are paying for their past sins. 

The punter has been a victim of the tricks played by these people all the way. Now why do you expect the punters to suggest ways to come out of it. 

The best  time to bring out the reforms is when the going is still good. Not when you are fighting the war with your back to the wall. 

All these years the Clubs catered to every lobby -- be it owner,  breeder, trainers or jockies .

The punters was treated like a bigger. No proper seating arrangement,  no clean water,  no hygiene in canteen nor enough betting terminals!  

All that the racegoer asked was clean racing and he was laughed at. 

The system all vested interested were cozied in,  has come to an end ! No need to cry now!!

Hey guyz

Online betting will not help in the long time scenario unless there is more transparency in racing.

Today most horses in India are owned by stewards, ghieves n bensmi owners.

High time, Indian racing is cleared of this kachra and given the same clean slate it had 20-30 ywars.

Most of the administrators especially those from BTC need to be repinquished from their posts.

These are nothing but mindless people who look after their seat as if they are God.

The facilities are bad really bad and need good furnishing.

Hand over to private companies to run with professional stewards with a national body like the Turf Authority to take charge.

Finally online betting should be run like a countrywide Tote administrayed by a clean professional company.

Betting shops should be ar all major cities increasing the turnover.

Considering the current economic situation,  this is a good thing to start now post stabilization

Cheers n stay safe.

@IIMBLUE

Llke other punter you also cannot live without punting so you are here in HORSETALK but you don't want to disclose it. 

By the way do you have any other ideas for racing in this situation?

Do you want to packing up everything?

If it possible, that will be great (Online betting), We are in 2020, if those people who not have bank account, pan card etc, all people need to do improve themself. I notice on betting in Tote and Booking especially in chennai, people are jumped to one by one and fighting to confirm bet on bookie, there will be no proof after betting, for me i do not participate to join on that crowd. purely no hygine in tote spitting and smoking even serving alcohol everywhere, On this Corono time, Work from home, play from home. Stay Safe

Actually we already have international online betting websites and peoples do betting there. Where you can bet all international races.

If our turf clubs introduce online betting with certain limitations that would be better. In periods like this or during election or any other situation that would be help full. 

Also it would be helpful for owners to get their stake money and also to pay the BDF . 

HOPE TURB CLUB WILL LOOK INTO IT AND TAKE A FAVORABLE DECISION.

Had racing been clean in India,  the government would have accepted suggestions such as online betting. 

    Leave alone the punters,  can any one of the clubs even claim that their operations are clean? 

Donot compare yourself with courses abroad which are run fairly and professionally. 

  The Government will not consider giving permission to online betting because the Clubs and professionals have brought disrepute to the image of horse racing. 

It appears that some punters can't live without betting and only such people are advocating ideas .!

Alfred Nobel invented Dynamite for progression of mankind but some people used it to create nuisance. Still Dynamite used for good. Some Trade unions opposed introduction of computer in offices they thought it will increase unemployment but all we know without computer life today impossible and new types of employment created only by computer. 

Online betting is need of the Hour  if medicine invent still we have to live with the Corona  for long time.

All time availability of betting will not be there  because betting will be available only for Indian horse racing other will not be possible in India since those are legally banned India {except casino in some state}

New technologies comes with pros and cons we have to accept it like mobile phones creating so many ergonomical problems but still we need it. 

I have fully faith on turf administrators of our country they will start online betting with all safe guards and will rectify time to time. 

For the sake of turf industry online betting should be introduced as soon as possible.

Friends:

I am of the opinion on line betting will save lot of money for the punters. From my experience Race course is full ofnegative forces because it is more or less a Gambling Den.  Impulse betting and Tricks played by the book makers by manipulating odds and then asking their own persons to bet in front of the public for a wrong false favorite etc.,  All these can be saved from online betting where one can bet from his home. 

Addiction is always thereeven at the Course betting is also addiction. First one should understand the basic concepts and must be in readiness to accept all manipulation pushing pulling etc as a part of the Game. In general if you accept Racing as a Hobby with limited budjet you can enjoy Racing from Home. 

While you decide to bet someone will meet you like a satan to change your decision.  We have had enough experience we could get rid of it by sustained effort. ven if I know very well certain horse is sure to win I will not throw peti by peti. I know Race course is not going to stop next day. No need to grab all that possible.  So like any other trade you have to learn a bit and take professional advice whenever necessary. Family problems or Family atmosphere gets disturbed etc., is only for Mad people  indulging in impulse betting without understanding the tricks of the trade.

Of late just out of curiosity we have been following Honkong Races. I understand there you have to deposit funds with the club (Minimum  100 Hongkong Dollars) and open your account and all your win amount gets credited automatically. You can withdraw like any time like we withdraw funds like our ATM Cards. They accept bets on mobile also opening your account with allotted password. I do not think our club will go for High tech betting.  

Best Regards to all
