NY OTB

     What took them so long? OTB's are now asking the attorney general of New York to rule on the legality of NY citizens betting with accounts located outside of New York. In other words, when people have a choice, they choose other than OTB. Thus, for OTB's to be able to compete they have to eliminate competition. 

     It makes a lot more sense to let NYRA take bets from anywhere and eliminate the OTB's. But since when does logic have anything to do with state government in New York.  I have both a NYRA one account and an out of state rebate account. I used to have an OTB phone account also but I have since closed it due to the ridiculous policies of the OTB. 

     It makes absolutely no sense to have six different OTB's in New York until you realize that upper positisions at OTB are just expensive welfare for politically well connected hacks. Who can forget the disgraceful performance of Hazel Dukes at NYC OTB. 

     New York State does only six things well---spend, spend spend and tax, tax, tax.
