Bris and youbet no video
 
While the ESPN coverage was entertaining , I missed the paddock,and post parades for all the races. I cannot get TVG on cable or dish where I live due to restrictions in condo association, so I was flying blind for my inspection handicapping, which is a big part of my game. I might have missed it, but nowhere did BRISbet and Youbet announce beforehand that they would not have a video feed. They had the TVG feed for the first 2 non BC races and then went black. This really irked me, as it was unexpected and I would not have stayed home to wager had I known this beforehand. Where did everyone view this years BC, at home, a simo place etc ? :confused:

Home for me. Youbet, Pinnacle and ESPN. I love going to Calder this time of the year but we had company and I didn't really miss being there.

So Youbet didn't have the live Churchill feed? That is nuts....

Nope Scavs, couldn't see anything. The numbers were fine but the video wasn't there.

TVG had their own feed, I could see it on a TV set in the background when I went to another online TV feed from an otb site with their own panel and show . I believe simo places would have both the TVG feed and ESPN feed. I don't believe there was a CD feed, just TVG and ESPN. I prefer not to listen to the commentators,but need to see the horses in the paddock and post parade. I also didnot like the ESPN video of the races as I couldnot track the race with all the cutaways, closeups and aerial shots. Frustrating !
