I'll be there at Bally's race book same as the Derby and BC the last 5 years.

BC at Bally's is the best. This is a race and sports book but they close off all but 2 terminals to handle nothing but race bets. This leaves a long line of college football bettors stretching along the right wall in the morning while you walk right up and place your bets on the early races.

There is a path to the betting windows that avoids the line of college football bettors but I find a perverse satisfaction walking past them and the catcalls of "hey, there's a line!" just so I can throw back a "I'm betting on the races". I've done it even when I already had all my bets in just for the fun.

I know this doesn't make me a good person. But I can't help myself.
