I don't really buy this. There are always going to be smart, educated people (like myself...LOL) who will be attracted to this game because it's a puzzle that can be BEATEN for PROFIT.

If there is PROFIT to be made, smart people are going to go after it.

The problem is, nobody thinks you can beat racing. Ordinary people (and even hardcore fans) think it's nothing but a shady business run by shady people and attended by even shadier folks...

The entire perception of the sport is what has led to its downfall.
