Many of us have gone to them. You have to pay a tax on your winnings though, last I heard it was 2%. You get no chance to shop for a line, its a monopoly. Worst of all if you go on a weekend every major border c****ing right now has a long line thanks to all the security. Used to be you could make a quick trip ac**** the border to the book in TJ or Juarez, both have a spot to bet literally within a 2 minute walk so you could make a bet and get back ac**** in a half hour or so. Now if you try that on a Saturday or Sunday it may take you two hours, even if you are just a pedestrian. TJ used to be at worst a 10 minute wait to get through immigration, now it can be 90-150 minutes on weekends. Cars can be 3 hours attimes. So yeah it is true you can go there and bet it, but the hassle factor has just gotten so bad.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
I walked ac****(Back to U.S.) on both Sat. & Sun in 10 minutes during the day. It didn't seem to be a big deal. As far as the 2% tax, I went 0-3 so I wouldn't know about that.
