PID was up to its horse player friendly tricks tonight ... they sent the tellers home after the last race. If you want to bet Hollywood Park or anything else tonight, get a voucher.
The old OTB parlor, they would keep two tellers there until Balmoral's last race at 1AM ... and for one year even stayed open in the middle of the night while 2 or 3 true degen's stuck around and bet Australia without PP's or whatever the hell it was they were showing.
Greatest mystery in the world is how that place was never robbed. They had real dough in the money room, one senior citizen security guard who was hooked on scratch off lotto tickets sticking around and about four or five employees who valued life a million times more than the companys money. Most of the cameras didn't even work. You take a right out of the parking lot and you're on the Interstate. You take a left and you're onto Peach street which is loaded with malls and stores for two straight miles. Or you could drive past the Interstate and take the backroads if you know them. Probably the hardest place in the city to capture someone who recently escaped from and easiest spot to escape from.
