that level of racing I don't have a problem with, but I don't see the need to prop up a failing industry at the lower levels here. -- nm - znufrii wants pie Oct 24, 07:04 14
- But, Aqueduct and Belmont have the best jockeys in the world on a daily basis. -- nm - CQ Oct 24, 07:07 7
  - while that may be true, I don't think adding ways for lazy people to lose money is the solution for the industry. - znufrii wants pie Oct 24, 07:11 6
    - Oh, who gives a shit? Some people like to gamble without thinking too much. That is a fairly stupid distinction. - TFox Oct 24, 07:15 5
      - Considering the house edge in horses is like 15% at minimum; its almost smarter to play the 97% payout slot machine :) - Will Hunting Oct 24, 07:17 2
        
        Me at Mohegun Sun: $2 show bet on the favorite. Drinks for free, a race every 30 minutes. Basically, I pay 2 dollars for 30 minutes of drinking :) -- nm - CQ Oct 24, 07:18 1

      - in my opinion the people who gamble the least intelligently are often the people who can least afford to gamble. - znufrii wants pie Oct 24, 07:17 1
        
        And fucking retarded. Don't forget that one. -- nm - TFox Oct 24, 07:18
- Which tracks are you talking? - Will Hunting Oct 24, 07:05 5
  - I don't know tracks specifically, but it seems like every year the NY racing commission is trying to get more revenue streams - znufrii wants pie Oct 24, 07:08 4
    - the tracks themselves struggle to make money. No one really goes to the tracks anymore on a consistent basis. - CQ Oct 24, 07:13
    - They have a big slot parlor at the dog track here too. It is a pretty natural fit. - TFox Oct 24, 07:13 2
      - jai alai: nothing like betting on humans. I hate to bet on it, but it's exciting to watch -- nm - CQ Oct 24, 07:16 1
        
        that's something that's on my list of things to do. - znufrii wants pie Oct 24, 07:19
