Of course, these type of businesses (or any type), has to actually have a goal of profitability and legitimacy.

Like everyone else on PA, I've been to some nice OTB's and some dumps. Location and management unsurprisingly play a big role in the quality and experience.



The two near me, were run by Hollywood Casino, both pretty nice. Decent food, sparse crowds, except TC weekends and Br. Cup. It wasn't unusual for the help on weekdays to outnumber the patrons. One youngish guy (40ish) used to come in with NorCal Greg's picks all handwritten on a piece of paper. It was definitely an interesting, diverse crowd during their heydays. Both closed for good now.
