Many people ask me where’s my favorite place for Sports Betting

There’s only one problem when I try to answer that question

It turns into a bit of a rant on the state of legalized Sports Betting in the USA

That’s because we’re unfortunately living in age of very bad leaders

It’s sad that we have 535 of them in Congress and it’s very possible

At least for a short span, a dedicated group of pre-schoolers

Occupying a well run Day Care center could probably get more accomplished

Whatever state you’re in probably isn’t any different

Here in California the State Legislator has been a laughing stock for years now

Look at what happened with Indiana right before the Final Four

So my best place to go when I’m Sports Betting depends on my schedule

And will definitely take more than one post to answer because it’s actually pretty complicated

That’s because living in San Diego gives us something that very few states can claim

Legalized Sports Betting on two different borders

Mexico on the South and Nevada on the West

There is simply nothing better than having your clerk count out a nice fat pile of money when you cash

Cashing, no matter the amount, always beats trashing and it’s really the reason we’re betting

You’re not putting down hard earned money on a bet you think is going to lose

Multiple cashes during the day is a great way to keep your money management in line

There’s something about a room full of bettors all with money on whatever game is on the screen

Since it’s still illegal for Vicky to bet $10 on the Chargers here at home it leaves those two choices

Mexico is close and getting across the border going in is cake

Caliente has multiple Sports Books within walking distance (or a short cab ride) of the border

There are even FREE shuttle buses if you’re not late trying to catch a game that’s starting soon (They run on their own TJ style schedule)

Once you’re at the Caliente Sports Book in the Pueblo Amigo Plaza it’s as pretty good day as you might have

Although the prices have risen over the years it still serves the best breakfast of any sports bar or book that I’ve eaten in (I think Tommy would agree)

There’s a little sea food shop across the way that has some of the freshest fish tacos and their specialty Coctel de Camarones estilo Mexicano includes fresh clams and octopus

Combine any of that menu with a bucket of beers and the fact that the games (and horses or dog races) are on the TVs there too and you can see why it’s such a special day

We’ll spend a good chunk of our visit to Tijuana just sitting at their bar eating, drinking and betting

When you hit a dog race you can run across the patio (or go upstairs as all the sports books work off the same system) cash that ticket and bet a game that’s soon to start and your beer is still cold when you get back

Man do I miss Mexico…not trying to get out of Mexico…that’s a whole other story
