Trouble @ Philly Phonebet
 

Perfect timing, right, with the Derby coming up? This stuff gives me heartburn.

Long story short, same outage that was forced on the casinos might happen here.

Phonebet is usually a mess on big racing days anyways (takes forever and a day to get a live operator), but this certainly doesn't make things any better. I usually stick to phonebet.com on the big days.

I might have to get another wagering service, just in case. If it takes weeks like it did in Vegas, I am hosed for the Derby and possibly the Preakness.

On big race days, even when all is well, I notice that the online system actually tanks before the phone access does..."No more servers available" type of message.
