that arena football line had to be a teaser line of some kind.
Thanks for the review! If they are too small now, then something is wrong. Don't you think game day action for games at the Meadowlands complex are going to be huge for betting? Seems like they didn't play well.
The issue comes down to expenses. Both Monmouth and the Meadowlands have teemed up with a sports betting provider, which means they are sharing any revenue. I am guessing for their share that the PaddyPower/FanDuel and William Hill are providing personnel, betting lines, and most importantly risk assumption. The tracks are providing a physical location and low level personnel. Neither group has much of an incentive to put huge dollars into construction, especially considering William Hill etc would much prefer you to bet online or with your phone.Very well put. FYI I walked through Victory last night , full of people eating and waiting to bet with clerks. I believe they will do fine with low stakes players betting into bad lines, for entertainment. If they open for NFL on Sundays it will be packed. However contractual limitations may not allow them to open on days Jets or Giants play. They will also do well in March. How it plays for racing and the potential casino remains to be seen..
If Monmouth and the Meadowlands had slots and a tone of cash I believe that even with the low level of return on sports betting, they would put serious dollars into a really nice race and sports book. just as a kick ass amenity, since far more people bet sports than horses nowadays, especially younger folks. But neither track has that kind of renovation cash. Monmouth at least has a whole empty grandstand area behind their sports book that they could upgrade...not sure about the Meadowlands.
I think that I would go full out to get personable people unlike myself in the building, sell them hotdogs and beer and nachos at a decent markup and create some buzz. Make it a guy's day out thing. You do it right you will make more money from concessions than the share of the sports betting proceeds. And you cannot lose money on concessions like you can on booking sports bets.
I took my 19 year old son to the runners at Saratoga last year, first time I had been their in ages after 30 straight years of attending starting when I was 5. Unlike me, who was reading the Daily Racing Form and Sports Eye daily starting at ten years old, and bet on sports since my early teens, he only has a casual interest in handicapping. What was most interesting to him that day was the twenty and thirty somethings drinking beer and smoking cigars in the paddock area. I think sports betting could, if made into a really appealing group experience, could draw in a demographic to the track that is currently missing.
You people are pathetic! I was just there now! You can get 6.5/1 odds for the Patriots to win the Super Bowl. Las Vegas is offering 5/1. How do I know? I bet it in Las Vegas. You can get 50/1 on the Giants to win the Super Bowl. Las Vegas is offering 28/1. How do I know? My friend bet it in Las Vegas. You can get 6/1 on the Yankees to win the World Series. Las Vegas has them at 4/1. Facts! If you bet futures bets, they are offering the BEST odds I have seen anywhere and they will top $4 million in handle tonight, which passes last year's total easily for the card!
what was the spread on the baseball games?
I hope that Jeff passes away before he sees one cent of profit from the adventure
They are learning ,,, baby stepsHow hard can it be?
Paddy Power/Betfair are an England based exchange corporation(the leader)--they are not bookmakers and dont really know what they are doing(as traditional book)ok, thanks.
Fan Duel is a fantasy sports corporation--they know nothing about bookmaking, either
William Hill, on the contrary, is a worldwide bookmaking corporation with shops everywhere. They are true bookmakers.
So, basically, in a nutshell, Gural partnered himself with folks that really dont know what the hell is going on.......besides being 6 weeks late to the table
