[[File:Goldie's Betting Parlor, Caprica.jpg|thumb|Exterior: Goldie's Off Track Betting, Caprica City.]]
'''Goldie's Off Track Betting''' was a betting parlor located in the [[Little Tauron]] section of [[Caprica City]] in the years before the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies|Fall]].  It was also a hub of activity for the [[Tauron]] crime syndicate the [[Ha'la'tha]] and its confederate [[Samuel Adama]].

Composed of the main establishment and a large back room where Ha'la'tha members, including [[Francis|Frankie]] and the [[Guatrau]], would meet.  Television screens displaying footage of horse races as well as shows like ''[[Backtalk with Baxter Sarno]]'' were located in the backroom along with tables for games of [[Triad (RDM)|Triad]].

A young [[Willie Adama]] was briefly employed at Goldie's, influenced by his uncle Sam Adama to skip school and learn the ways of Tauron men.  Willie was later killed by a stray bullet at Goldie's after the Guatrau called for the killing of Sam and Willie's father, [[Joseph Adama]] {{CAP|Reins of a Waterfall|Here Be Dragons}}.

Joseph Adama created a [[virtual world|virtual]] version of Goldie's as a place to meet the Guatrau who communicated with Adama from the real location and was soon murdered there, retribution for the death of Willie Adama {{CAP|Apotheosis}}.
