What do I mean by that?
Well, suppose you are betting on the Derby this Saturday.
Then for basic starters you have online live feed access on one screen to all the bookies at Flemington fielding on the Derby. You choose the horse and the best odds available, place your bet and you are set. That simple.
But we are not given that. Racing remains in the Stone Age.

Alternatively, why aren't bookies given access to punters so they know which horse the punter wants to back and they can attract them with their odds if they offering the best price? Oh yeah, they do have that service..isn't it called Betfair? Point taken Mr L. but it ain't gonna happen unless you have some runners on the ground in the ring, a couple of net jockeys and a damn good conference link...
