    And can you imagine how many of these will happen: "Sorry son, we have to walk home no gas in the tank. This guy Lakerboy on SBR said the Pens were a lock tonite kid. He was wrong."

          It is only a start. People declining going to sporting events for the comfort of their living rooms. Coupled with the ridiculous prices they are being charged.
          Soon, people will be able to bet on any game, while at the game, not just Pitt.

          Gambling is just another way to get people through the door.

          I agree with the phone betting. That's why just betting on Pitt while at the game not enough...

              I have to say penguin crowds are Douchey types that definitely don’t gamble for the most part

                My OLED 4k tv has as good a picture as seeing the game live. And you don't have to deal with people.

                Watching from home is a win win!

                  At least at a hockey rink you won’t be standing there In line waiting for the black guy in front of you to make his 30 $2 bets

                        Pitt was a great city as depicted in the Deerhunter.

                        With the mills closed and the White working class possible moving, could be the end of another once great American City.

                              Very soon, the home team (an underdog) will be down one goal, will pull the goalie and the home crowd will boo because most of them have the puck line.

                                    casinos and sportsbooks most profitable

                                    in areas with lots of crime and no jobs and lots of poor people who are desperate

                                      Just think now you can go to a Penguins game and pay $90 a seat to sit in the nose bleed seats. Pay $9 for a warm beer and $8 for a cold hot dog and lose your ass at the sports book. Sounds good.

                                        does not do much

                                        people that go to games do not gamble more families and real fans
