I still remember when you couldn't bet off track out of Saratoga County (before the Simulcast/Racino/computers). We had to cross the river in Mechanicsville. The joint was at the golf course and was the equivalent of a Caddy Shack or tree fort. Guys spit on the floor and you had to bet letters corresponding to the numbers. The call was audio cause they couldn't show the live feed......Ah......the good old days........People would walk over broken glass to place a bet.
You are right its been down hill since..........
Its not the quality of the places, its the quality of the product that's sunk.
The marginal propensity to bet corresponds with the game and its product.
