I have an ethical problem with EHorse.com - mainly the long-term survival of racing. Are they contributing ANYTHING to racing?

Yes, competition. This could help improve the game for bettors.

[Suffolk Shippers]

I have TVG for New York, Hollywood, Del Mar, Suffolk and others...

Have Brisbet for Maryland, Churchill, Gulfstream

Also have a Phone betting acct with Hinsdale Greyhound and OTB in NH, which is for all other tracks I need and my fall back option when the clowns in Massachusetts argue over their simulcast laws and we cant bet on anything.

By far the best is Hinsdale, you call and talk directly to a mutuel clerk who places the bet for you

[MISTERGEE]

by far the best for many reasons is nhplay, all tracks available

This is why a dream "home entertainment room" has the nice wide desk in the middle, facing three large flatscreens, a computer on each side, the laptop in front of you, and four-foot high stacks of old DRF's on the floor behind you ....

One could put a picture of a horse on the wall, I suppose.

Oh, yes, a minifridge.

The clearest replay I saw of Sumwons' race was on the CD site. Don't understand it, much clearer fed to them from directly on Racereplays (same source)

Hm. Can you tell me more about this one? Is it a Phone Bet account or can you bet/watch online?

Does anyone else have all of the tracks?

[-BT-]

I have had no problem using YouBet, and i think there the best in the business.

(though i don't make phone wagers, i found it almost impossible to make a YouBet phone wager on Preakness weekend, i got tired after the first 5 minutes of hitting the touch tone that i just gave up)

BrisBet, no problems with them. But, i don't like how you can only watch 1 video at a time and select 5 tracks (YouBet allows 8 tracks and max 2 video). They would be my 2nd choice

XpressBet- never got into them at all

TwinSpires- only has a VERY select tracks as of right now, and the only one im interested in is Churchill. The other day they had a problem with the login page so i couldn't wager on the entire Churchill Downs card, also don't care for the interface.

TVG-have an account, but no way to fund it in a timely manor, and they can kiss my a$$ if they want a per wager fee from me

Been thinking about opening an account with that exchange book that allows you to wager vs. other players (the one that was advertised on ATRAB), anyone have any feedback on them?

WHO HAS ARLINGTON?

i did love pinnacle because of the 7% discount, but nh play is actually higher if you include the exotics

[31lengths]

They're Magna tracks and Youbet is being punished by the Magna/CDI group. I guess contracts must have prevented them from yanking them earlier. AmericaTAB carries them (the last I checked ).

I don't have any right now, I live near a bunch of OTB's.
As far as Twin Spires they should have Arlington, it is a CDI track, and you are supposed to be able to use your twin spires card. I am a TS member so they sent me e-mails about the wager site. There are different levels of TS accounts though, some are just points some are wager.
And if you can't get CDI tracks you can sign up on the website and it allows you to watch, having Directv that's how I am watching Churchill. (Guess I will have to switch to Dish when FG starts back up).
If you sign up on one track you are a member of all, ie: I signed up for Fairgrounds but get access to all CDI tracks.
I am interested to see how TS goes, been thinking of signing up.

The 10% bonus on winning bets at 5Dimes was and is superior to Pinnacle's 7% rebate. For that matter, Bookmaker (formerly CRIS) has an 8% rebate on exotics, and it includes the NYRA tracks.

However, I don't think either book lets you bet as late as Pinnacle did.
