Remember, gambling is only fun if you win. Or, if you are sitting around drinking a bunch of beers with your pals, which is what we were doing. The money you save by bringing your own food and drink can be wasted on the jockeys. It’s a win-win.

I suppose it seams silly to head to the track only to watch the races on the big screen. Just remind yourself that, hey, you ain’t the only one. There are plenty of others just like you, and they don’t seam to mind. Bring your chair, a cooler full of ice cold beer, and your friends. I bet you’ll have a good time.
