OTB was a major income stream for the state of NY. Look at what Vegas does in betting. The state of NY had a MONOPOLY ON LEGAL BETTING in the state for off track betting. All profit went right into public coffers. You know an industry that earns trillions of dollars? And they operated at a net LOSS!Dude, they can't even run OTB at a profit. It's failed.
Don't forget Michigan. 20% unemployment and rising... maybe falling soon. Depends if the state legislature also went red.
Who the fuck cares about OTB?
We are not fucking Atlantic city..never was..
That says they are fucking incompetent. It is a guaranteed moneymaker, but they can't even do it! How much more fail can you get???
No it wasn't.
Gambling is a crappy revenue stream too. It's full of shady characters and a crap load of corruption. It's also unstable.
