a piece of history...when simulcasting became the new game in town, it didn't take long for the feds to shut down all the hoss bookies, because they were competition. They didn't arrest everybody, just told them all that they had a good run, but that run had ended, and they couldn't take action anymore. The bookies didn't like it, but had no choice. Don't forget, that payphones weren't even allowed to be used during racing at the track.\

95 % percent of locals have sights in costa rica. they pay $20 a head per client. settle up day is still the same. you can post funds, or bet on credit. They don't have to sit there answering phones or do anything. for the bettor it is the ultimate convenience...huge paying ML parlays, 2nd half lines instantly, cross sports betting. They give you the opportunity for value, like in the hosses.
just a quick example...monday night, woke up after the Steelers game started, there was one hockey game, so i take a small parlay on edmonton
+150, under 5 1/2 goals +105, and the Giants with Bumgarner on tuesday. laying only $88 to win $739. it seems more like betting hosses that way. Bet a little, win a lot. with the advent of money lines on almost every college game within reason, and every pro game, including 1st half lines, they have made it betor friendly. unlike hossracing where thet take 25% and 5% right off the top of big scores.

for thursday and sunday...the bears +220, san diego +7 1/2, baltimore +1...$78 to win $852.

its like spending $72 in the pick 4 for half a buck and it paying $3400 for a deuce

Its embarrassing people in US have to feel like criminals betting offshore or with a book. How great would it be to have sports books at Tracks and why does anyone care to stop it?

ESPN.com | October 24, 2014
A U.S. District Judge granted a temporary restraining order to the NCAA, NFL and other major professional sports leagues Friday, crushing a New Jersey racetrack's hopes of offering legal sports betting this weekend.

After a wild week of rapid-fire legal filings, Judge Michael Shipp ruled the sports leagues would suffer irreparable harm if thoroughbred track Monmouth Park began accepting sports bets Sunday as planned.

It's a deflating blow for New Jersey, which is trying desperately to help its ailing gaming industry. Four Atlantic City casinos have closed, and thousands of workers have been laid off.

New Jersey believes Las Vegas-style sports betting would provide a spark and has been battling the leagues for more than two years.

But this case still isn't over. More hearings in district court and the Third Circuit Court of Appeals are expected. Both courts have previously ruled against New Jersey's sports betting efforts.

Before it's over, the Department of Justice also could weigh in. For now, though, the NCAA, NFL, NBA, NHL and MLB have stopped bettors from legally wagering on their games in New Jersey.

The leagues filed suit Monday, asking for a permanent injunction and claiming New Jersey's latest sports betting legislation, the 2014 Sports Wagering Law, violates the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992 (PASPA). PASPA prohibits states from "authorizing, operating, advertising, promoting or licensing" sports betting in all but four states: Nevada, Delaware, Montana and Oregon.

You can buy any legislation you want in this country...

I find it hilarious ESPN would use "a devastating blow" when talking about anything NFL.

Is this confirmed?

Judge Shipp didn't want to be the one who granted this..... because his brother is in the NFL's coaching apprentice program, where he is looking to be a paid assistant program. Bill Walsh started this, Judge Shipp's brother played in the NFL for 3 yrs or so, and now is seeking employment as an assistant coach somewhere. There would have been a conflict of interest had the judge granted this for the state of NJ. ( his brother would definitely NOT get a job, had he approved this)
