Talking Horses: Britbet delays launch as talks with Tote continue

Two businesses expected to sound each other out about future partnership rather than divide pool betting on racing

The expected launch of Britbet, a new pool operator at 55 of Britain’s racecourses, has been postponed from the original date of 13 July to allow discussions between Britbet and the Tote which may end with a merger. This does not mean a definitive end to the Britbet project, which could still launch later in the year if talks do not progress.
