    Shutting down does nothing to slow Corona

    According to stats casinos do not spread Corona because everyone masked up

    Throw weather out, and IT IS the best state to reside in AMERICA.............glad you're enjoying it.

    My nephew had to close his bars in the Des Moines Metro area until March to save the business.

    Where do you reside?

    ..............said it time and time again, EVERYTHING considered, Iowa has the worst WEATHER in the nation.

    Heavy snow
    Brutal cold intensified because weather wind current consistent and high winds through the plains, rivers, lakes
    Tornados
    Humidity

    Only positive, few, or no earthquakes.

    lol, you need much more in IOWA than just AC

    A solid furnace for 6 months of frigid, a nice cellar/basement for tornadoes, excellent drainage/gutters for heavy rains.

    It's certainly MUCH better living there now than 40 years ago....................at least cable tv/sat tv, internet, smartphones now....................not to mention casinos AND sportsbooks

    In addition, the snow isnt quite as bad as 40 years ago, and also vehicles are made much better.

    Hell, I may move back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Yep masked up when they walk in door than a whole different story once let in. Sneaking smokes in bathroom stall when you know you are not allowed to smoke. This is as clientele of a casino. A bunch of Trump voter style people who think every one is against them and they are gonna be little sneaks to prove a point. Fortunately most are as dumb as a box of rocks or the casino's would end up broke. It is why the casino's are building buildings and the patrons are filing bankruptcy's. Oh of course if you are Trump it is you filing for bankruptcy when you in fact are the owner of a casino. You can't even make shit like that up. Imagine owning a casino and going bankrupt. This is the dwhat you dumb fuks worship. Trump once again fleecing faking like he got robbed with the election and robbing his dumb supporters one last time.

    To answer the poster above I moved to Madrid Iowa from Phoenix.I was a pro Horseplayer from 91 till 02.When I went back to Risk Management and working from Home.Now I do part time work and bet sports with it being legal in Iowa now! Horse playing got too tuff with takeout and short fields.Also Turf Paradise took away my favorite wager ever the Twin Trifecta man did I make money with that wager.

    7 or 8 out of the 11 PA sportsbooks have the same lines because they use the same line provider so basically if you have 1 you have 8 just slightly different looks and sportsbook names but most people too dumb to know that

    PA stupid

    NJ/Vegas/Iowa have numerous private line providers

    MGM came out of nowhere and got a license they already have the casino up and running online sports a couple weeks


    There’s ways to team up with a property and get a license MGM somehow is affiliated with penn gaming as far as Pennsylvania and qualified for a license

    Online Casino is called Hollywood it’s bizarre
