Why do you need video if you are at the track?

Why do you need to bet off of a tablet if you are at home betting online with your computer?

Since it is only for people that are at Keeneland, you will have to bet online with your computer if you are at home. Unless you live at Keeneland.

LEXINGTON, KY (Oct. 5, 2011) – As Keeneland celebrates its 75th anniversary, the venerable racetrack continues leading the way in technology and innovation, including a fan friendly innovation that allows bettors to wager at the track using their SmartPhones or tablets such as iPads.



Created by United Tote, FastBet technology allows fans who are located on Keeneland’s grounds to use mobile platform technology to place a bet. It is free to wager and is convenient for those who want to make a bet but don’t want to stand in line.



“Keeneland introduced a beta version of FastBet in the spring and it was well received,” said Keeneland Vice President and Chief Information Officer Brad Lovell. “Those who tested it gave us great feedback and United Tote did a good job of integrating upgrades into this generation of the technology. Keeneland strives to be an incubator for the industry and we are proud to be the first track in America to offer this service to its fans.”

What are the benefits of doing this instead of just betting Twinspires or whatever from your phone while you are there?
