Betting is not given the coverage punters are calling for.
There is a lack of quality betting coverage in the racing media. The disastrous £1.6 million ‘Everyone’s Turf” marketing campaign makes no mention of betting.

Tony Calvin is a tipster and broadcaster. He believes betting coverage should be more prominent on TV. He thinks TV execs are afraid of upsetting the government and watering down betting content.
