dwindling pools, what's left to bet?

A good and relevant question.
It depends on what you want to win. If you can find a situation
where there is a combination or number uncovered or a number or
the reverse with a number grossly overplayed, then there is the
ability to make a little money.
The key word is "little", though. 2002 seems like high
flying days compared to now with the pools. Florida attendance
has continued downhill (and maybe even picked up steam) and lets
not forget Connecticut...when Milford closed, there was a LOT
of OTB business going down to Dania and Miami. Nearly 7 years
later, I would be willing to bet that the numbers are halved,
if not more. We're getting further removed from seeing the sport
live and it is losing its luster. I know that I watch maybe 1/4
if not less of what I was doing 5 years ago. My life is a lot
different than then (and is changing even more, likely later today),
but I don't watch as much even during my free time.
