Default To All: A WARM WELCOME

to my long time Youbet friend Bigrun. I FINALLY got him to sign up here as an old site that we were on shut down, and another has fallen out since Pinnacle went in the shitter. He is a real good handicapper that plays alot of tracks fairly cheaply. He will be a welcome addition to Esoteric Central as he loves to argue about stuff way over my head. If I remember correctly, he is also a Steeler fan.....


Welcome my friend

Some real Gems in all of that gibberish though.

Where's that archive of Saturdays SB deal? I want to hear you sounding like a 12yr old.

Got it on right now, but my kids are going to call me shortly, so hopefully it will be up on the archives later.

Off topic. I am not happy with the CD/Magna deal. I'm afraid YB will lose AP and I am sure TVG will too. Sucks.

Youbet has nothing to do with this, and Youbet can't afford to lose them. They have a good relationship with Churchill....If it gets hilarious, I will call Lucky, who is the Director of Simucasting, and get the downlow

They have nothing to do with the merger, but their relationship with CD is tenuous at best. They already don't carry FG.

FG is not because of Youbet or Churchill for that matter, it is because of the Fairground horseman. Something crazy.....

Thanks for the welcome..Very nice looking site..Similar to another i use but minus the jerks...
Scav, Churchill is (has been) YB's flagship track...Haven't heard any word of changes, with the message board retired no scuttlebutt available...I talked with Lucky about a month ago when i noticed a very big drop in reward points at all tracks, and drastic drops at the big tracks...He said the higher reward points i had been receiving were given to all the cd users temporarily to reduce the shock of losing the cd and now that period is over and the points reduced..He said since i was a charter member he would restore the higher points on three or four tracks of my choice...Gave him my list and it was done.
If you talk to him, don't mention that story, he went out of his way to help.

Welcome bigrun...Hope you enjoy the site as much as we all do...It truly is something special. I get this spine tingling feeling when I think of all the great horsemen/players on this board...
