Youbet/TrackNet: Bettors Shafted/Trouble brewing

[SniperSB23]

Yeah, I'm still steaming from that e-mail from Brisbet last night. Hadn't been following this that closely so didn't realize they were involved, thought it was just a Youbet/TVG thing. Is there anywhere else that give free past performances for tracks you wager on? That is what I really loved about brisbet. I'm really considering pulling everything out of my account and only betting on track until they straighten this mess out. I wish Congress would step in and tell them unless they straighten this out that they will lose their exemption from the internet gambling ban.

I'm not happy -- Brisbet is what I use and I had fully planned on sitting around Derby Day and playing Arlington's opening weekend. No dice now.

This steams me to no end, these all or nothing tactics being used.
Screw and annoy loyal players in a stupid attempt to exclude other tracks.
Dolts!

Wonder what would happen if CDI/Magna had the bomb? YouBet and Brisnet headquarters would be effed.

Just makes me go to the most beautiful track in America more now, which means less firing because I will have too much going on, which means more money for Scav

These ADW's must not like compulsive gamblers

i haven't figured out what i'm going to do yet. have to see how it shakes out.
but my goal will be to keep my wagering dollars away from those that seek to limit choices. i won't forget this strongarm play just before the derby.

So after reaping the benefits of having exclusive wagering on May 5th,
their not going to have Hollywood, Belmont or Arlington (amongst others) for the rest of the month (and possibly, entire summer)?

Talk about selling your soul.

You guys have to realize it isn't just because of the Kentucky Derby, it was just tactical. Ameritab wouldn't have access to Calder/Arlington/Churchill/Magna if they didn't do this agreement. Would you rather not have ALL those meets and the TVG tracks? I think not.

As far as Belmont is concerned, I think you will see that fly back to everyone real fast, no way those NY boys are going to handle a decrease in handle because of political BS.
