As a 'beanpole', I can't frequent a sportsbook w/out at least one guy accosting me with basketball questions and a re-hash of his Baltimore or DC triumphs. Fun, until they get 14 beers in, find me again, and are screaming obscenities and sweating odors in my vicinity, the act wears thin.
I can imagine Mark would have guys coming up to him and showing dime-boxed supers |
At my local racetrack (Grand River Raceway) I try to go like 3-4 times a month and definitely not every day as some others I see there as either I am working or can just play from home
Each time I go there is always the same guys who are there every day pretty well and are always swearing their heads off and complaining that they lost a race or by the time I am heading home that turns into races
Usually, the guys have groups they like to sit with and if you are not a regular chances are you will be sitting in an empty area while the others are crammed on the other side area
I always have respect for the mutual tellers who are there and yes there have been times where people have come up to me either to rant about how the Baffert horse cost them their tickets or actually for betting advice on who I like
It's fun to go and hang out with the guys at GRR but not sure how those players do it every day with betting and drinking beer or smoking lol
