Tips & Warnings

• Withdraw money from your bank account before you head to Woodbine Racetracks to watch horse racing. The temptation to withdraw funds from an ATM at the park will lead to high transaction fees. Many betters get in over their heads by opening a line of credit through the betting office, which leads to exorbitant interest.
