Sure, its a restaurant packed with two dollar bettors but there is no doubt that there are some players that have been attracted or created by that place.
Slightly off topic, but Joe Kristufek and Brian Spencer started doing "seminars" on busy days at AP last year. It started out with them just having a microphone and saying to please ask any questions...A few people would come up to them. This year, they brought out tables and a white board and explained ROI and if you want to bet $10.oo on a race, instead of doing $5 WP, try an exacta key or Tri keys, etc. Drew up the bet and exactly how to do it. Last weekend they had 30 or 40 casual bettors huddled around the board every hour all day learning something they never would on their own. It's great to see that.
