![]() Rick,
I was in Philly last week for work. Took 1/2 day off on Friday to drive to Delaware Park. I had been there once before and the track and paddock are really nice. The words I would use to describe the Sports betting operation there now is Rinky Dink. They have 1 hidden sign that says Sports wagering on 3rd floor. Went up there a wall of TVs, but the ball room looks like only about 20 tables that's it. They had 2 tellers open, line wasn't moving at 2 in the afternoon. They had sheets out with opening week NFL games, NFL season wins, NCAA odds to win championship and daily baseball. No sheet for College Footballl opening weekend or conference championship odds. The 1 good thing was about 6 self serve kiosks on 1st floor for sports betting. THis had opening week College football games. No totals for games posted or available. I'll be back sometime in late July to bet opening weekend games and some more NCAA championship futures. Hopefully they have some good plans for upgrading. Have to look at hotels etc, to compare whether Delaware or Monmouth will be better for occasional weekend trip down to bet football. |

![]() They also rushed to open and I'm sure neither DEL or MON are where they want to be. I know where you were and that is usually eating, drinking, racing. Have a feeling all of this will be sorted out by football season. Another thing I'm not sure of is whether you can still bet in bars in Del. They had a bunch of bars where they sold the parlay cards. Will try to find out.

![]() Answer is no. They limited it to DEL Park, Harlington and Dover. But would not be surprised if that changed.

![]() I love Delaware Park.
Also like Monmouth though I haven't been there for a few years. Both are not too far for me when I have the time. |

Delaware is a lovely track with the nicest paddock in the entire sport. It's great for race day. Monmouth is a larger, more gracious version of Tampa Bay Downs. Quaint and elegant. It's a treasure. Spend the early part of the day at the beach and the rest of the day at the track. Go for a shore dinner. I can give you 30 fabulous places. Monmouth is a weekend excursion. A vacation trip. The Sports Book only elevates the whole experience.
