I'm Irish and I don't get it at all.
I think it's a generational thing. My grandad loves it and still has a bet to this day and he's 90. I can't stand horse racing. A complete waste of time. Have very few friends that like it. I like a bet on football and GAA but love watching both anyway. I wonder how many horse racing fans enjoy it without a bet? None in my experience. Mugs game.
Horse racing is popular with all ages where I live. And I've never had a bet. I think most diehard horse-racing fans have close to zero interest in betting.
It's a gambling sport. Always was. Always will be. You're in the tiny minority that enjoy it and don't gamble. From my experience, and i was talking to my grandad about his experience, i'd say 95% bet on the horses. All the diehards in my few local pubs like a bet on the horses. The two go hand in hand.
I can see it dying away over next 20 years. Football betting is num 1 with a lot of young lads these days. But hey whatever floats your boat. There's no accounting for taste. Some lads like baseball and cricket. Each to their own.

I agree 100%, I’ve always said horse racing is purely about betting, you can watch almost any other sport for the entertainment or the level of skill involved, but in my experience no one watches a horse race unless they are betting on it

Have a feeling he'll do well on this one, might even win it.
I'm making a bold predict that he'll win either this one of the Players Champs. Ideally the China Open with 200 grand involved but have better hopes on UK tournaments. Even though he did win in China this season after a long long wait (2009).

Ah. Imagine the ignominy if the world number 1 is not at the CoC. Of course, he might not be the World number 1 by then.

Ronnie winning The Crucible is a very real possibility.
