Seems like Grey2K have a mole on some of the greyhound pages and are distorting facts AGAIN and trying to mis-lead people into believing that greyhound wagering is decreasing. WRONG. Carey Theils blog is full of lies AGAIN, and addressing issues NOT presented by data published by the FL Greyhound Assoc (FGA). Let me summarize the circumstance and provide valid data, as compiled by the State of FL, and published by Dick Ciampa. . Grey2K always like to tout how poorly LIVE greyhound racing is doing and seldom talk about total handle unless it is heading downward. In Grey2Ks blog entry they publish data from an eight month period ending in February and suddenly skipped over the LIVE numbers and went to the total numbers. . What Carey didnt want to tell everyone is even with a bad February the LIVE total in Florida is still up almost $350,000! . Here are the Year-to-Year numbers that the FGA published: . Live handle July 2012 $6,869,711 .. Total handle $20,191,115 Live handle July 2013 $7,030,814 .. Total handle $20,645,900 Live handle August 2012 $6,077,357 .. Total handle $19,349,868 Live handle August 2013 $6,737,173 .. Total handle $20,420,379 Live handle Sept. 2012 $5,834,576 .. Total handle $17,748,126 Live handle Sept. 2013 $5,325,512 ..

Total handle $19,990,357 . For the six months the total handle was up $680,564 and the live handle was up $634,343. .
