Nhra enters gambling world - Page 4

Honestly, I think it was only a matter of time before they moved into the gambling space. Every sport is tapping into that to boost revenue and fan engagement. But like others have said, I can?t imagine this helping the Sportsman side unless they seriously reinvest a chunk of the profit. Still, it might be fun for fans to throw a few bucks on pro categories just to add a little extra excitement. For me, I’ve mostly messed around with smaller bets on F1 races and football matches, but lately I’ve been reading up on holland casinos and what betting options are available here. Interesting stuff if you know where to look.

I’m mostly on the fence about sports betting, but when big series like the NHRA start allowing it, I get a bit more interested as just a fan on the sidelines. Personally, I haven’t put much money on racing, but I have friends who do small casual bets just to make the races a little more exciting to watch, not expecting any big wins. It’s always about the fun, not really for profit, since most of us just gamble a few bucks here and there.

For people who actually want to find the best bonuses or ways to try new online casino sites without risking their own cash, there’s a place you can get from here that gathers up different no deposit bonuses and free spins. It could be worth a look if you like checking out new promos for fun.

The few times my wife came to the races she would always find the spot in the grandstand and start betting on cars with the guys and always seemed to do well. Cash on 1099

As a Christian, I don't bet, period. So for me, this is like bringing out a rule that you can't snort coke before running. Has zero influence on me.
That said, if it ever comes to the sportsman classes I will be concerned. Not that I am a hitter or even a threat on the track, I don't like carve outs or loopholes that CAN be exploited since some people will ALWAYS exploit stuff for their own personal gain. (I know, everyone else, but not me, right?)

I'm just sitting back and watching how this plays out, thinking it won't be good as it never is when you include an addictive pastime with another addictive pastime, lol!

I just want to race, leave the circus at the fairgrounds, not the track.
