You would've taken door number 2 when the big prize was behind door number 1. The first rule in negotiations, never take the 1st offer.

smart; I would have sued the piss out of them

I would have thought FanDuel would have prevailed in a lawsuit, but I guess I'm wrong since they decided to pay.

I thought courts usually sided with casinos when there is a malfunction...

First month of the nfl

Meadowlands hold was 7 million

Monmouth was 2 million

Profits so far until 11/30

Meadowlands 20,000,000

Monmouth 10,000,000

Monmouth refused to release their numbers any link for this data?

Really surprised Monmouth doesn't release the numbers as it is public knowledge.



New Jersey Gambling enforcement releases the numbers monthly around the 12th of the month or so.


Here is the website.

Also NJ Senate passed a bill yesterday allocating 50,000,000 from the general fund to the Monmouth purses per year (5 year deal--10,000,000 per year) dependent of Monmouth negotiating with the horsemen a potion of their sports betting profits to the purses also. passed the senate 40-0


Here is a copy of the bill that was passed.

just needs assembly passage and the governors signature.


Allan

Thats an extra 130,000 in purses per racing date for 2019.


Monmouth asked for 56 racing dates at monmouth (approved)


Monmouth asked for 20 racing dates in the fall at the meadowlands (not approved--subject to Meadowlands and Monmouth hashing out a deal--Harness and TB asked for some of the same dates)


Allan

Things are looking up for Jersey racing.


Allan

Hasn't live racing handle dropped since they've started taking sports bets?

I do believe that is the case.


I cant remember exactly how much.


Monmouth would rather you bet horses and not sports due the hold on each bet (more on horses than sports) but they rather you at the track and betting sports than you not being at the track at all.

NJ breeding industry has to be about dead. PA breeding incentives are second to none.

20 mares bred in 2017. Tying Missouri and two ahead of Utah.


Those 2 years old Jersey breds races will come up a bit light at the entry box.
