While the crowds swelled in the gigantic facility overseas, so did the pools! Win pools were massive. <br /><br />Here in the U.S., as I watched on TVG, I decided to log on to one of the ADWs to see what was in the pools stateside. <br /><br />The win pool in the U.S. was about $15,000!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711985.post-35040609507560197252010-12-09T20:47:27.501-05:002010-12-09T20:47:27.501-05:00Yes, jk gets it!

Some of these outlets which sell lottery tickets and that have Quick Draw can set up an additional monitor to show races.<br /><br />As for the home bettors, the NYSRWB needs to relinquish this ban that prohibits live video streaming. Get with it, allowing people to watch via tablets and smartphones should have taken place a few years ago. <br /><br />In western NY, western OTB has Batavia Downs signal on Time Warner Cable systems in Buffalo and Rochester. Do you know what is in the win pools at Batavia Downs? Oh, a might $400 or so. The OTBs have been lost for a long time, and the sooner they get abolished, the better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711985.post-22930619344858556512010-12-09T10:05:00.028-05:002010-12-09T10:05:00.028-05:00The biggest parasite has been removed and NYRA cla...The biggest parasite has been removed and NYRA claims they can survive. Maybe NYRA can now tell the rest of the OTB's to take a hike.<br /><br />Does anyone know if the "temporary" 1% takeout increase was allowed to sunset as scheduled? This increase was put in for "temporary" help to the OTB's. <br /><br />If NYRA can survive w/o the OTB's, there is no reason for the horse players to pay for their bloated upkeep.jknoreply@blogger.com
