First OTB
« on: April 08, 2024, 01:58:56 PM »
First OTB opened today

OnThisDay in 1971, Off-Track Betting (OTB) began operations in New York, becoming the first legalized OTB operation in the U.S. Initially there were only two betting facilities available to take wagers - Grand Central Terminal & an OTB in Forest Hills, Queens

With all the middle age guys here, I’m sure some good nostalgia.

Now THAT\'s one of the funniest things I\'ve read on this board!
Hazel Dukes... should be a mandatory case study for Harvard Business School on how to NOT run a business...
