If you are watching sports and not betting horses, the stars may be higher. Let's talk about horse race betting. Most sportsbooks have a half/half split. One half of the room is horses, the other half is sporting events. On each side, they show one of the hot games or the current race on the big screen. Why are we watching the Red Sox in May on the horse racing side? The guys behind the counter have no clue how to interact with horse players, and do not know the lingo. That may be because they look like they turned 21 yesterday. Never again.
