They’ve cut down on the max. used to be what you said. 18 for place is better than 15 around here. 8 on show . 100 -1 on doubles 50-1 on exactas. There aren’t many real bookies left. Most players have adjusted to the technology and use the ADW. Most locals have a site where you can call or just go on the site on your phone or device. They don’t work , just pay and collect. It’s the golden age for those guys. You can post cash , or bet on credit with a limit and just settle on tues or Wednesday or whatever. It’s a lot easier punching out those $20 exacta boxes on the computer when you don’t have to put the money up til payday. As always if the bookies don’t get stiffed once in a awhile , they are not extending enough credit. Real old time bookies always wiped the slate clean at Christmas so you would be around for another year.
