Another reason why it is such a pleasure to live in a state which has a TVG monopoly not letting the ccustomer have a choice of vendors or backup for an outage of the only provider.

Having 2 accounts did me some good as far as betting the race, but as soon as they loaded them in the gate, the video gave up the ghost, so had to go to cal racing video to actually see the race. Where there's a will there is a way. Hard to keep hard core gambler's down.

I will say this... not wagering and not having video, but being fortunate enough to listen to the race on the horse racing radio show REALLY helped me appreciate the race! The Del Mar race caller (don't know his name) did a BRILLIANT job of describing exactly what was happening. It was RIVETING!!

At the end of the day, my opinions were completely wrong, and it's a good thing I didn't get to bet. On a normal betting Saturday, I would have listened to the race caller with half an ear and concentrated on where my horses were.

So... Thank you Xpressbet. For the first time I got to enjoy horse racing like a fan of any other sport. Not a ummm (whispering) "gambler."

Well, I'm glad you enjoyed it, but it was visually impressive too. Sounds like you don't have a Cal Racing account or you could have watched it on your computer. Here is the web site http://www.calracing.com/live-video/ It's free. I used to use it a lot before I had Xpressbet and Oaklawn Anywhere
accounts.
