A $300 guaranteed return on $1100 of bets you are going to make anyway is found money. The only shame is that one of their funding options just went down.

This country is SO effed when it comes to gambling....
If 5'7" is big, then yes...

Twinspires offering a superbonus:

$250 bonus each month, up to 4 months, if you wager 5k every month

Essentialy a 5% bonus if you wager 20k in 4 months

You won't hear any follow up herky. It's been swept under the rug and TS hopes we all forget about it.

That's fine, but the IdaBet.com bonus is over 27% on much, much less wagering (almost 95% less).

I agree. I live in Texas and I am limited on options for online wagering. Idabet does not offer services in Texas. Some of the glories of living in the bible belt.

You can thank the Texas Racing Commission for that.

I too live in Texas and use TwinSpires and Bet America periodically.

TwinSpires owners, Churchill Downs Inc.is fighting the Texas Racing Commission to keep online wagering and option here stating they can not "force" someone to have to place bets in person.

The whole entire country is run either by pathetic do-gooders or even more pathetic bible beaters.

You're never really limited with the Internet.

You could even bet on election showdowns between fellow Ivy League turds:



Over a $1,000 is available on Mitt at 4/1 right now and more than a million has been matched in that market.

If I am not mistaken, they do cash rebates also. Limited states though. If your shopping sites and want rebates, pm me and let me know, I can probably help regardless of how small or large of player you are.

For example, I got 10% on all Arlington P3s this year.
