Mr. Liebman blamed the unsavory image of OTB parlors as contributing to the industry\'s demise. \"OTB put damper on all horse racing,\" he said. \"People didn\'t think of majestic horses of parading on the grounds. You think about OTB parlors.\"
Hmmmm, I recall some pretty unsavory elements lurking in the stairwells of AQU and the aroma of exotic substances. And how does this impact parts of the country without OTB?
I think they want to blame everything but their own ineptness and disrespect for the bettor.
