You know Oracle, the last time I was in Louisville I noticed that sports bar would have the games on and then also have TVG on. There were several people with their lap tops wagering, drinking and watching the game. Oh yeah, the name of the bar was Buffalo Wild Rings and Wings.

Buffalo WIld Wings is my favorite type place like that in the world and we dont have any here. I always go when I am in Lousiville. If they opened pne up here in saratoga you wouldn't be able to get in the door.
I agree, I've seen people doing that in places that acrry TVG with laptops. But imagine if anyone could have a device when they walked in and bet? I'm telling you, it would be a crazy success.

Whoever creates that device will be a rich person. I love Wild Wings and Rings. The place is impossible to get into on a Sunday and Monday during foorball season.

They invented them years ago, called Tiny tims, personal sams, whatever.
Its not hard, but the focus on marketing in this game is all ****ed up beyond recognition.
Spend all this time and worry trying to get people to go to the track, whenyou could bring the track to them so much easier.

They have tellers walking around Arlington for the seated people, it is awesome. You give them your voucher, tell them what you want, and bam, you have tickets and your voucher back. I never have to leave my seat becuase the beer girl is right by our box and she just brings them to us, I have my own TV, and the teller knows to get to my box with 5MTP...a GREAT ROUTINE

It is alot of money to get a restaurant franchise like that. We lost on the bidding for a cereal bar chain store. We are now trying to get a restaurant First Watch.

Restaurant is tricky and hard for me to really grasp. Sometimes you have to buy the rights to multiple stores, sometimes you have to agree to open X amount of stores in a certain amount of time. I really dont want a career in the restuarant world. I want to buy one and then sell it back when the value is the highest.

Mace, I think that 2 million gets you like 10 stores though. I know the one where I live, the owner had to agree to put in 5 stores, at least 20 miles apart from each other or something crazy like that.

That is what we do at Wild Wings up here...The NCAA tourney was absolutely nuts, I have two Pinnacle windows open on my laptop, one with the horse section and the other with CB window open, and I was given control of all TV's to help out with the insaneness....it was awesome
