    If you can't make a sports bet right now you need a new book across the board.

    I’m heated I can’t do any Draft Kings. I was on my way to over 50,000 DK points from achievements in NBA and NHL and now it’s not happening. I’m actually pretty pissed off about it

    the first step is admitting you have a problem.

    then denial I think?

    When the insatiable greedy casinos close down, that's when ya know it's getting bad out there.

    I've been to Atlantic City casinos during blizzards, and they never shut down for that.

    That's right, with a blizzard you cannot leave the casino - you're stuck there. LOL

    That's a bit of a shocker considering there is online betting. Without googling it, i'm guessing sports events are being cancelled around the world. Like Paul said, nothing to bet on.

    I'm guessing that horse and dog tracks are still open to bet on, but then again maybe not?

    It's weird, one little microscopic flu virus mutation in China causing all this worldwide trouble. But that being said, if microbes didn't mutate, starting around four billion years ago, then we humans would have never evolved. So perhaps we shouldn't complain too much. 🤷

    Hey, of all people that can tell you how brutal one little microscopic flu virus mutation can be,it's me. I'm a year and a half removed from almost getting killed by that old Philly favorite,Legionnaires. You won't hear me complain about any of these precautions or cancellations. Well maybe just a little bit,not being able to watch the Celtics does suck ;)

    Horse racing is not only on, but doing great. Aqueduct's handle yesterday was up $1,000,000 from a year ago. Only game in town.

    No fans allowed on track.

    Yup.

    It was the trainer that won a $20,000,000 race in Dubai last week. His owners winning share was $10M.

    He and the jock got $1M each,

    horse people being losers is a tradition. I knew a couple of them , one got murdered by the mob actually , the other had to go in witness protection :D

    that being said dog track people are much worse, then below them is the jai lai crowd

    I recall the Philadelphia media constant news stories when that happened about how health officials were baffled about what caused those deaths until they finally figured it out.

    Glad you survived it and that you're okay. 😊

    The penny slots are the best at $4.00 max bet, they suck you right in and it’s entirely up to the machine what dictates a winning combination
