I'm planning on stopping by to see what kind of wagers I'll be able to place on the Bills. The sportsbook is being run by DraftKings. Special guest is supposed to be Donavan McNabb. If they are anything like Fanduel in NJ, the Bills making the playoffs patys +410. Winning the AFCE is +1100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F them. Keep your neighborhood bookie in business and also find the pathway to overseas books. Clap it up for crime ?????? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure it's the right Donovan Mcnabb, the eagles had open tryouts one year and they promised Donovan Mcnabb and it was just another guy who happened to be named Donovan Mcnabb. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His geese are still laying gold. I’m sure it is, I’m just referring to the industry over here. Aside from over saturation of the market, I think the casino struggles are directly related to the way the government crackdown dropped an atomic bomb on the poker boom. The plan was to regulate state by state, but bureaucracy does what bureaucracy does, (drags it’s arse), and barely any states pass legislation. The ones that do legalize online poker have such a small player pool to choose from that they all under perform (unrealistic) expectations, because the Einstein’s running the show didn’t take into account that Pokerstars was a global player pool vs a bunch of degenerates in New Jersey and Nevada...

Let’s hope this sports book can turn the tide for them eh? You can just say it’s in Waterloo NY.. any true upstater knows where that is. Living in Taiwan, I have been running a hard campaign against the whole of beautiful NY being referred to as "upstate". I am from Western New York. New York bloody City does not get to define the rest of the state. They're no England. Ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poker accounts for 5-6% of gambling in casinos. You are overstating its importance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetermansRedemption Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Any word on when/if this will come to the Buffalo area? They need to get on that. Also, bring it up online. Absolutely no reason not to have it online if it is in the casinos anyways. I suppose the same could be said of online poker though ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant imagine much has changed i'd assume there'd still be some friction as well. the malls here are not in good shape. marketplace doesn't really exist anymore. greece town mall is a total trainwreck, and even the "nice" mall at eastview has a number of open store fronts. brick and mortar is having a really tough time.

LB3 Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 I'll be throwing down a couple hundred on the Bills to win it all. I hope to get there this weekend. I said it in the shoutbox earlier that I think the Bills are built just like the 2013 Seahawks so it's worth a shot. It'll give me a season worth of added excitement for basically the same cost as an expensive night out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
