Winticket/Bris - Part of Churchill Downs now

[Scav]

Anyone else get the email? Winticket gets to access the TwinSpiresClub also....quite interesting...

This effects all of AmericaTab, correct, so Brisbet also?

Although the press release says thre will be no significant changes I smell a rat. Brisbet will eventually disappear. Unforturate for its clients.

or the other way around, and they just get rid of Twinspires.com and use this platform, which I think is more plausible...Who knows what they will do though

What is your take on the whole thing?

My assumption is that twinspires.com is bye bye now that they have this. That really turns the ADW industry into four major players (TVG, Youbet, Americatab, Xpressbet)

I wouldn't be surprised to see TVG and Youbet merge somehow to combat all this stuff. 4 major players in a market where they should be 1, 2 max......

Since they just recently combined with Magna, I think it is more possible that they will disband the Brisbet pltform and keep the Twin Spires brand.

One significant change - I am no longer welcome as a customer. Texas is shut out.

Why do I have this feeling that the cost of Brisnet products will be going up in the near future?
