Many but you are limited to when they are open, so you miss the east coast early races, and forget any over sea action.

There is an OTB a mile a way. Its a total sh it hole. Forget about having access to Forumulator and a laptop, they will throw you out. Of course the place has a 2 drink minimum or 10 dollar fee, but heck they do let you bet your money!

F Arizona, and in general horse racing.

I used to bet a LOT of money. Now they barely get a dime from me. I still handicap and follow many races though, its a better puzzle than the sunday crossword.

I spend 5 weeks in Tucson every year, my experience is they let you bet Turf Paradise, and maybe one or two other tracks- if that.

Tucson bets through Rilito I imagine and probably is more limited.

I usually can get Belmont and Calder at midday, CD and Kee about the same. It depends on what time of the year due to daylight savings.

You can go to Turf and bet full cards, they have windows open around 10am.

Yea, if Rillito is open, you can't bet anything else. Love that track though.

i live in Mesa and never have been to an OTB that has a drink minimum or a charge. I use a computor when i go and have never had a problem at any of them. i do know in Chicago, that some of the OTBs charge at the door and any bets made on a Chicago track has a charge on it, you dont get track prices. Today the OTBs in PHX have 18 tracks to bet, last one being Los Al

I used to work for TuP a long while ago, we used to fight cell phones being brought into the place.

I used to work at McDuffy's and we always charged the patrons who did not buy or drink and only bet. I can see it from the business aspect but it was their choice to install an OTB. I think its a bad business decision.

I worked there about 15 months from 93-94, they started it my last 4 months or so.

Yes I know the owners and where happy they cashed out at the height and then opened the chandler place.
