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
