smd:I'm not sure why Montana would be allowed, as I never heard of them offering sports betting. At least MT has the Hot Lotto game.

CASH,That's true, which is one reason why they can bring it back. They are one of 4 states (Nevada, Montana, and Oregon are the others) which were grandfathered on the National ban of sports wagering.With PA most likely adding slots to the tracks, DE would be smart to add sports wagering. Even if it's just a Football only Parlay run through the lottery like they do in Oregon.

smd:DE _did_ have sports betting in 1976-77. I believe it was limited to NFL games.

CASH,I also bet Bay Meadows through the OTB here in PA.You're right that alot of young people don't bet the races any more, although I have seen more people lately.

I went to the local OTB for the Belmont Stakes, and also to get out of the house for a while; I was in a bad mood and needed a change of scene and characters.Although I know how to read the Daily Racing Form, and the basics of handicapping, I have't been following the horses lately so I did what I do when I'm feeling lazy...walked in and immediatly placed one dollar lucky number (5 1) exacta boxes on all the remaining Bay Meadows races, and continued to play 5-1 on other races throughout the...
