gambling at Churchill Downs and in Kentucky and around the south

[butterpecan]

i am heading to Churchill Downs this week and it looks like there is still no casinos or sports betting?, not even tribal casinos??? They have this one horse racing game, ridiculous.

The south brought gambling to the states, aristocrats were gambling from the Jamestown onwards, horses, riverboat gamblers, the south invented poker and tons of card games, and now it's the slowest region to legalize sports gambling? It's like the snopses, baptist and their ilk, have totally replaced the aristocrats.

Kentuckians, vote for gambling , fun and to fund pensions and bring money to the state
Vote Randy beshear for governor. The present Christian right governor Bevin believes suicides happen every day in casinos .

Yes, yes he is. Enjoy yourself though and please don't become a statistic.

the ancient Greeks had a saying, "everything in moderation". I saw it in this Virginia frat house of all places.

I bet all the bible thumping southern states have lotteries where they rip off poor people. You have a chance with sports betting., the lottery is just hurting the poor.

Bet the horses. Better odds. Favorites win 33% of races. 200% returns all day with $2 tickets.

Enjoy

I live in the south and I have southern roots dating back to 1800's.these southern bible thumping southern politicians represent what Faulkner called, the snopses, the lower orders who replaced the southern gentry

I find it far more enjoyable being around people in some comfortable sportsbook, tons of 4k tvs and games on, led video walls,hot cocktail waitresses and women in the casino, great food and drinks.

it's the atmosphere in sportsbooks that makes it, online betting is fine for shut ins, antisocial types who want to save a few dollars each wager
