Is it TVG or is it me???
 

I can't access the TVG page on my computer or via the app on my phone.
Are they having problems or am I just a dope?
Anyone know?

It's working fine for me, but it was slower than normal loading up to start.

Honest question : Why do you use TVG as a wagering platform?

(This question is NOT asked to discuss their on-air talent or broadcasts, but to better understand why wagering dollars are invested with a non-racetrack owned wagering platform.)

I don't.
I use it to watch the races.
I bet through TS or Xpressbet.

Tvg is a solid betting platform. They have lots of good deals especially money back specials. I use it exclusively.

I met with a lawyer last week and I knew the guy was a horse player. Had a picture of American Pharaoh on his wall and a little statuette of Curlin. Anyway we got to talking about the Breeders Cup and eventually the conversation came around to online wagering. He said he couldn't believe I didn't have a TVG account. I didn't even think to ask him why. Guess I know now. He advised me not to let too much money accumulate in my account. I told him not to worry. I'm not that good at handicapping.:D

Excellent - exactly the person that needs to speak, Knicks - thanks for volunteering.

I am not denying that TVG covers just about every racing circuit around the globe; after all, TVG does not run anything in the racing industry, but just skims margin from the wagering pool. So, your decision is motivated by their deals. Are they better than other platforms? If so, which ones?

Which all brings me to the bigger point. When TVG takes the majority of your take-out cut and pays it to owners/shareholders as opposed to the tracks that pay the purses and keeps the entire game going, does that matter to you?

Next question as a TVG user : if Churchill Downs was to close (and I mean shut down, bulldozed and gone) does that matter? If Belmont closed, does that matter? If either of the Kentucky or NYRA circuit matters, why not wager directly with their platforms?

Now, before anyone asks, I am not a "NYRA shill". In fact, I wish I was. Truth be told, my favorite track in the world (RR for those in the know) was lost to parasite wagering groups like NYC/OTB, Nassau/OTB, and Suffolk/OTB. I am struggling to see how TVG is any different from those.
