Default youbet.com, TVG, Pinnacle...

What's the best one? youbet.com, TVG, Pinnacle, Brisbet or other? I need to change and I'd like some input.

Default Youbet over TVG

In just comparing Youbet vs. TVG it is Youbet hands down just by the number of tracks it handles... TVG had no wagering on the Preakness and is basically shut out of all Magna tracks --- Gulfstream, etc....

Don't know the other two..

I used TVG today and it was very slow and numbers MTP kept changing crazily. I'm gonna drop them and stick with youbet...but will check out Pinnacle also!

You bet is tops for US based companies, but Pinnacle gives a cash rebate for your horse racing wagers. I think its 10%.

I just signed up for a youbet account today. I'm new at all this and just learning the roapes. It seems pretty easy to get around in, and took my money just fine.

Default xpressbet.com

I really like xpressbet.com. Customer service is great, got my last check before they sent the W-2G... Haven't found any tracks that I can't wager on yet...

i also use xpressbet. the service has been excellent and they have no fees.

the only problem i have is state restrictions. i live in maryland, so i can't play ny, ky and 2 tracks in ca. (i'd have those restrictions on any site, is my understanding)

i play less frequent than i like because of the restriction and i usually play smaller amounts, so the rebates didn't matter as much to me and the fees didn't make sense.

how much are the fees from Xpressbet for video?

Pinnacle does offer rebates, so if the fees for video through Xpress or youbet are modest and you do not mind wagering offshore, you might think about keeping your existing account open and using Pinnacle for your wagers.

Pinnacle does not show the races. They don't have a video feed.
