I have found that playing the DRF tournaments a suitable replacement for my wagering $$, I feel sheepish in a way though because these funds probably dont make it back into the handle and thus not helping those who need it to.
I dare anyone on here to tell me where you can find better entertainment value than The Racetrack at Saratoga... $5 admission (less if you buy the pass) and they let you bring in a cooler!
Hope all made it through the storm(s) in good order...
Cheers,
