Right now, there is a crapload of red tape that is holding everything up. Lots of negotiations and jockeying for position between tracks, ADWs, and horsemen. There are tons of people on this board more knowledgeable than me about this situation.

If you want to bet every major track from one account, the best way to do it is offshore. They take bets on most signals, but are not licensed by tracks, and therefore don't take your money and put it into the racetrack pool. Most pay at track odds up until you hit more than a 300-1 win, where they cap the payout. Offshore books usually give a rebate between 3-8% on all of your wagers.

I just can't bring myself to wager through the offshore books because jockeys, trainers, owners, the racetrack, etc do not see any of the money that I bet.

And the fact is your money safe off shore? Show me a off shore that pays within 3 days like Twin Spires or Youbet and every single person on this board should go to that site.

I don't do withdrawals during football.

BUT my bro uses BetJamaica and they sent him a check within 5 days. Made the withdrawal on Saturday.

BetJamaica is owned by TheGreek.com, but they do not offer identical lines. Both sites are top-notch.

Doesn't the story say they are "exempting" horse racing from this Bob? It certainly would be nice if someone would just tell Mr Bush to please skip the lame duck favors on the way out the door. It's time to wrap this one up as he......"has done more than enough". Maybe being put out isn't such a bad idea here.

Olympic has been one of the bests for years. I miss Pinnacle, but thegreek is the only other one that stood out above the rest.
