Looking for feedback on TwinSpires.com
 
I'm thinking about making the jump from Youbet to TwinSpires, based solely on the face that Youbet doesn't have a lot of the tracks they had just a few years ago...or even last year!

And feedback (good or bad) from people on TwinSpires?

I appreciate the feedback, thanks!

It's a pain in the ass to make a wager.

It's an unfriendly interface. I would much prefer a popup with drop down menus and the horses name after their number.

It's like playing ms. pac-man and getting to the pac-man jr. intermission the way it is now.

I like it much better than Youbet. It is easy, has good management tools, and provides good resources.

if you dont mind doing all your plays by phone the best ive found is nhplay, take almost every track.

XIIPointStables 02-02-2008 09:02 AM

Yeah that NH Play from Rockingham - I've heard about that as well. Do they have video or is it just a service to place bets?

Now that Xpressbet has NY and all of Cali, I'm very happy with it. All three aspects that I have used are fine. Computer, touchtone and Operator. There is a $.25 charge per call for talking to a live person. The Video isn't great but works OK.

Get the YouBet Wager Pad Pro, and enjoy life.

By far the best wagering tool in the industry.

In response to the original question. Get twinspires and keep Youbet until the ADW's have every track, you need multiple accounts.

Youbet is much easyer to navagate, but TwinSpires has more accounting features and will take wagers earlier that Youbet.

TwinSpires offers free P.P. on the tracks you make wagers and that in it's self should make you try them.

Good advice to keep both accounts.
I have Youbet,TVG,Twinspires,Xpressbet and Phonebet. I've read many complaints about the wagering interface at Twinspires and other than the names of the horses not listed next to the numbers when wagering I've found it to be easier to use than Youbet when making horizontal wagers.

Well the website is down right now 2 minutes before the Donn.

The wizards of CDI continue to provide their customers with great customer service. :rolleyes:

Unable to connect to database server
If you still have to install Drupal, proceed to the installation page.

If you have already finished installed Drupal, this either means that the username and password information in your settings.php file is incorrect or that we can't connect to the MySQL database server. This could mean your hosting provider's database server is down.

The MySQL error was: Too many connections.

yeah, I'm getting the same thing.


Never had this problem before, but today is one of the bigger days in racing since Twinspires has taken over.

ceejay 02-02-2008 04:29 PM

If this is how they perform on the first Saturday of Feb. imagine the first Saturday of May......
