Some states do offer "OTB", off-track betting. These little bookie shops are scattered around a large city where

you can bet on the horse races and do not have to drive all the way to the track. One day, a religious group

scattered around town to spread "the good word", to the people in the downtown area. One person out of this 

group walked into the horse shop filled with 70 horse bettors and opened the door and yelled 

"Pray For Forgiveness", and walked out the door and down the street. Ole’ a compulsive gambler who had a bad

day with the early races, went down the street and ran up to the man and said, "What Race?" Ole’ and Lena 

moved into a new retirement community, and Ole’ was invited to a guy’s night out for a long poker game on 

Saturday night. Ole’ was sure he won the first hand of the night, when he flashed his cards showing 3 Kings. As 

Ole’ was grabbing the poker chips, Kenny said "Not so fast, I got 3 Aces." Ole’ asked to see Kenny’s hand, but the 

rest of the neighbors told Ole’ that this was strictly a gentlemen’s game and there was no need to show your hand

do to the fact of the community trust with everyone. When Ole’ came home that night, Lena asked him how the 

poker night went. Ole’ said, "Just great, after the first hand I never lost the rest of the night."
