But, yes, the average NYC OTBs were armpits and that was on their good days.

Less face it, all they need is a place where the non-computer people (NYRA account holders) can converge, place bets and watch the races. In Jersey the establishments are very nice, but truthfully I would rather just stay in my own house and play from there.
For the most part, they aren't building these parlors for the people with the NYRA accounts, they are building them for the so called armpit people who don't play anymore because they have no access to bet the races.
