This article is truly unbelievable.

I live in MA and watch gambling related legislation very closely. My state already does not allow me to write off losses against winnings on the state income tax. However, with Suffolk Downs now about to get a casino and the hope of saving racing in New England with it, there was some reason for optimism.

I would never place a bet in this state as long as this law remains in effect. If that logic starts to apply to my ADW, I will have to give up on betting races altogether.
