Do places still have horse racing 'nights' where they used sealed pre-recorded VHS tapes (usually of US races with a standard 8 runners) and people bet on them? I guess if they do they will have moved on from VHS

I remember they used to have them at Butlins and attended one at Minehead c1982. I think I backed a loser in all races. I guess they are not for the 'pure' horseracing fans as there's no form to study.

It was banned because the Irish punters were losing money on the action replays
