Youbet players - warning

[XIIPointStables]

I sent along an e-mail to Youbet. No response yet.

BUT - another red flag.

When you go to Andy's "Beat the Pro" page, you can click on a Road to Derby Schedule.

Preakness listed.
Belmont listed.
No Kentucky Derby listed.

Yikes. Nothing from CD listed. Not looking good...

If they dont merge with HRTV by the end of the year, they will most likely not be around in 2008. They won't be missed.

Merge city, I wouldn't be surprised to see HRTV to buy them, or a place like Keeneland to tell him, KNOCK IT OFF and starting playing nice

This is even MORE interesting now, great find......I sent an email yesterday and no response, it usually takes about 2 weeks for them to respond to emails.....

I am hoping that HRTV buys em. Then fires most of their on air cast. The only one worth anything on there is Frank Lyons....maybe Simon Bray. While listening to Todd Schrupp yesterday from Keeneland I wanted to put an axe through my tv.

haha, I agree about Lyons, he is one of the few that bring anything to the table.

[XIIPointStables]

Blinkers Off is terrible. The most annoying things isn't the content, but the delay between NY and LA where Matt ends up talking over the DRF guy for half the show.

Sigh, but I keep watching every week.

I solve that by watching something else.

I keep the track feed up on my computer and when it gets to be a minute or so to post, I hit TVG. As soon as they cross the wire, the channel is changed.

OMG! then you are missing out on the valuable PK four plays that they routinely give out. I find those to be a source of great comedy.

That none of them hit. People on here routinely put up $48 plays that hit.

It is the situation where non-horse racing people are making decisions that people that have actually wagered before should be making.

LOL Jim.

What I don't want is people who's handicapping I don't trust, clouding my judgement. It's cloudy enough.

Scavs,
I read somewhere, during the big announcement that Churchill was teaming with HRTV, that YB was not going to have CD and the rest of the Churchill owned tracks were also leaving YB when their contracts expired. This is going to be the last summer of CRC and AP.

I have been trying to find the aritcle and haven't been able to, so take it for what it is, a guy with a shitty short term memory trying to quote something he saw a month ago....

Get on this, ASAP. It is DIRECTLY related to TVG because Youbet purchases from TVG. Looks like it will be RIGHT to twinspires.com for Scav

I've looked for a while now and can't find it. I think it is safe to say they do not have a contract at this time, doesn't mean they can't sign one by April 28.

[XIIPointStables]

I can't believe we can't get a straight answer on this....come on Youbet! Reply to the e-mails already.

[Cannon Shell]

There will soon be a time when CD and Magna tracks will not be available to anyone outside of their network. The industry as usual becomes more fragmented than less as usual.

[Scav]

Not to continue to whip Spanish Chesnut in last year's derby.......

BUT we have called YB Member services and got ZERO answers, the girl was most likely new and had NO IDEA what Churchill was.

Also sent an email on Sunday and have yet to hear back from them regarding it.

Never thought I would say this, but even though Pinny was email assistance only, at least they got back to you in like 30 minutes, Youbet can't even get back in 48 hours.

It might be time to unleash Bigrun on Youbet again.

[ArlJim78]

another example of the great customer service that this industry is known for.

[XIIPointStables]

Two e-mails, 72 hours, no response yet. I do all my wagering with them, but this is terrible customer service.

Anyone else hear anything?
