RMG GPS Data

[verance]

Word on the street is Racecourse Media Group are planning on releasing something similar to TPD in the new year.

Any plans being made to include in BA? Would be great to have all courses on one platform.

That rumour has been around for a couple of years. But if it happens we will implement it immediately.

Ok, sounds good from the BA side anyway

Looks like they already have it on their UK racecources and have just implemented it on their IRE courses.

Course Track is the one running their live GPS data for their racetracks: https://www.coursetrack.co.uk/

Would love to see this implemented into BetAngel in addition to TPD so we can have the maority of UK/IRE races covered with data.

The problem is always licensing. Various sports authorities all want buckets of cash for their data, so there is always a big gap between things that would be nice and commercial terms.

That's the main reason why these things take time or don't happen.

Thanks for the reply Peter. Makes sense from a comercial standpoint - it sounds like you're across it.

Like TPD, hopefully these other data companies can see the value in BetAngel and its userbase in terms of future opportunities for their business / reaching a new market.

Y, that's the pitch.

I tend to spend the first couple of months of the year trying to set up things for the year. So we will be having these discussions again in the next few weeks.
