back in the old days when Vegas was full of gamblers, there were lines at the sportsbooks, and when they got done betting their sports they went over to the race book and bet a few races waiting for the games to start.
if i was Monomouth, i would make a nice space for people to hangout and watch their games. have cocktail waitress's running around serving drinks and sandwiches to keep the people there all day. i wouldn't gouge them on the food or drinks. give customers free coffee and soda and donuts early in the morning.
that stuff worked in the desert for years, it will work on the shore.
what i don't want to see is posted lines on horse matchups, and when you go to the window they tell you they are only taking $50, change the line from - 190 to -240 and tell you that you can bet the remaining $1950 on the higher line. they deserve to be spit in the face for trying that move.
