The city's Off-Track Betting board voted Monday to send pink slips to all of its 1,300 employees - unless Albany quickly throws a lifeline. Without a rescue deal from the state, the struggling OTB says it will shutter its 66 betting parlors after close of business on Sunday, April 11.

someone said to me its not about betting $$$. how do they justify having 66 outlets, some with like 9 guys in them betting 10 cent supers? it does not even cover the pay for the people working there, let alone the expenses of the building. the parlors are a thing of the past, most people avoid them. the simulcast facilities are where its at and the computer. ez bet.
