    How about this Ginger

    Bookmaker monopoly on-course
    Tote monopoly off-course (LBOs and over-the-phone)
    Exchange monopoly on-line, for the non-recreational punter

    pie in the sky, pigs might fly

    Drone,

    This would mean betting being uncompetitive. At the moment punters get a fair deal from both bookmakers and exchanges (well, better than most if not all other countries). Without competition Exchanges would put their commission rates up and Tote will put their over round up. Without competition from Tote what is to stop on-course bookmakers working to a higher percentage too?
