Not betting the nuts...Is this common anywhere else?

My first trip to a Florida poker room at a greyhound track had me scratching my head (and building a massive pyramid of those grubby white chips), but it's a fun break from online poker. Imagine a table with 8 middle age or older people that show up with the idea that they will lose $X and go home - they have no intention of winning, 1 kid with sunglasses shuffling his chips, and you. It's downright hilarious.

I know what you mean. When I got up, I asked where to cash out and I swear one the regulars looked at and said he had no idea.

Where in FL was this? Miami? Flagler dog track?

I live in Orlando so if I want to play live I have to drive an hour to the Melbourne greyhound track or 1.5 hours to Tampa. I usually go to the greyhound track. I always have a good time and it's reasonably profitable (despite the huge rake and tip factor), but it's just not worth the drive more than once a month.
