If I would give one piece of advice to a first time player, it is to tune out everything. You will see prices come in and hear lots of cheering every race. Just block it out and play your own game. Set a goal and stick to it. And, most of all, have fun.

They had three or four self service machines. I never had any issues in the three years I played there.

Flight just cancelled for tomorrow.. In scramble mode, I'd suggest anyone from east coast check their flights asap.
