I have no idea how it will end up. My guess is that Youbet will eventually get what they want. Money speaks volumes, and Churchill's numbers were down this year and it can be directly related towards Youbet not being in the pools.
Another note, what is hilarious, is that I was just f'n around on Twinspires.com and the states they have are absolutely ridiculous.
12 states, and North Dakota, South Dakota, Washington and Wyoming are part of it, and I totally forgot that human beings actually lived in those states. I really wonder how these companies stay in business? Lets open an AWD in a market where there is already four other ones, all doing the same stuff.
The sick thing is that this whole industry is so jacked up, they are trying to argue about being able to service customers better. If that is the case they will all be out of business because they all suck. Their C/S people have no idea what 'type' of people they are dealing with. The last thing I want to be doing is calling those people, I have friggin races to bet, so you better believe I am not wasting my time calling C/S to talk about the friggin weather.
Churchill keeps on declining and Youbet will get them back. Same thing happened last year when Magna came crawling back to Youbet.
I also think that someone will get bought. I mean, lets look at this way way...these five companies all want the same thing
Youbet
TVG
Xpressbet
twinspires
Ameritab
With all five companies fighting over the same crap, someone is bound to get pissed and just dish some cash out so they will shut the **** up.
