Havana Park Off Track Betting

I spoke with the «Property Manager because I was sold a program for the wrong date and wanted to exchange it for the correct one. She would not give me tge exchange because she claimed that it was like buying a race ticket, which is a bunch of lies because a race ticket is a gaming transaction. I explained that her cashier had made the mistake and it would be great to make good but she started giving me a bunch of reasons why she wouldn’t. I expect to find out who is her superior and let them know of the quality of customer service. I dont think that it would have been a big deal to make things good.

Oh, M’God! I went to this OTB because i really, really wanted to bet on the Belmont Stakes race on Saturday. My bro-​in-​law has a ‘connection’ with someone who knows a ‘trainer’ on the inside on the tracks on the East Coast. He won ungodly amounts of money on the Preakness.
So i got my cash in hand and my courage summoned, and drove up to the Havana Park OTB early Saturday morning.
Upon walking in, i was faced with an Aurora policeman in a folding chair, a church lady behind a podium, and another lady behind an ‘admissions’ booth. The good news is it smelled clean and refreshing (somehow i was expecting a smoky, pukey entranceway).
With me appearing confused, the officer asked for my license, seeing as i was only going in ‘for 10 minutes’. I gave it to him, smiling at the lady at his right on the podium. i then started approaching Admissions Lady, but i was told to ‘Go Right In to Place a Bet’ (Under 10 MIN).
as i walked into this dark arena i expected the worst — a lineup for the 15 bus at Colfax and Broadway on New Years Eve. What I saw instead — a huge room — very Vegas like — of low mounted monitors in counter tops, civilized lines to place bets, very clean and very quiet atmosphere.
As i approached the cashier/​bettor, i announced «i have never done this before!» but i had written down what i needed to ‘say’. the man behind the counter was really nice and i got my bets placed no problem.
i was so happy i just walked out, claiming my license from Podium Lady, reminding her to check me out from the policeman’s list.
sadly, i won nothing that day. i blame myself as the jinx. however, i think it would be totally fun to check out the OTB on a rainy day and figure out how horse racing works.
NO ALCHYHOL! go straight and sober, then get your drink on.
