Pros Con's
 
TVG does offer Pick 6 wagering I believe.

But ofcourse with all these you have to live in an area where you are allowed to wager online.

I unfortunately cannot.

I would probably pick Express Bet if I were you. Youbet has monthly wagering fees, Express Bet has 2.99 percent tax on your deposits into your account, TVG I believe does make you wager a certain amount in order to watch the races online.

That's all I can think of right now.

It depends on which tracks you like to bet... I have two online accounts so I can bet on every track I want to... I LOVE Brisbet but I can't get all the tracks I like on it. The nice thing about Bris is you get free PP's if you place a bet on that track and you get video - good deal in my opinion.

I use BrisBET also. You used to be able to bet all the track but now, some of those tracks have their heads up their azz. BrisBET will take a bet on Delmar but you have to call and it sucks when they put you on hold. I got in fine.. you just can't wait until the last minute that's all.

When betting online I would suggest getting in sooner than later. You could be on a slight delay or something and get shut out. :(

i use xpressbet because they have no fees and i usually only play the big races days.

I use YouBet.com and they drop the service charge when you wager $350 @ month and that isn't a hard # to crack. Good Luck and remember that is REAL MONEY.

BRISBET by 10 widening lengths.

XpressBet takes up the chase in 2nd and youbet comes home a struggling 3rd with twinspires.com pulled up lame on the backstretch

never tried tvg

I live in PA and have a Phonebet.com account through Philly Park. They do take out of state customers, but it's limited(see below). I highly recommend them. You can bet everything except dogs. Penn National's ebetusa.com is another worth checking into.

Reside in one of the following states or US Territories: Alabama, California, Delaware, Florida, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virgin Islands, or Wyoming

I use Brisbet, learn the differences between their pp's and the DRF(DRF has Beyer speed figs which are superior); some tracks you have to phone in now due to all the corporate fighting(and you can't bet NY/NJ tracks at all!)

So, I need a new online outlet, also, to supplement Brisbet. We probably all need two

I use WinTicket.com, which is essentially the same as Brisbet. That is pretty much my only option, though, because of where I reside (Arizona).

So, there is no online site that I can wager on Del Mar online, only by phone with WinTicket.

You can't use Youbet? I'm pretty sure they're legal in AZ.

Anyone use Twin Spires?

Brisbet has been player friendly for a longtime (in a relatively new field).

Features like the free pps, no service fees, and extremely reason fee for video make those guys way ahead of the others in my opinion.

I have tried TVG, xpress, and youbet, all briefly, to check out their bells and whistles . . . but feel most comfortable and appreciated at Bris.

Not being able to play the New York tracks has me stumbling around to find a new home wagering track, but to this point I've dumped NY because they dumped Bris . . . with Saratoga looming my principles are beginning to waver.

I used Twin Spires once and did not like it at all. I didnt like the graphics, you can only make a deposit once every three days from your account (or something like that).
