Youbet takes NY tracks, I have had an account with them for years and they are very good but they don't take CDI or MEC tracks so I opened an NYRA account last week so I could bet Churchill.

OTBs, casinos, phone accounts for OTB, lottery, etc is all available in CT but Blumenthal wants to stop this?? I guess he has nothing better to do.

Does Youbet allow a link to a checking acocunt to wire money back and forth for funding?

Yes.

The deposits are instantaneous and the withdrawls take 2-3 business days.

I use Youbet and live in CT. I fund it through a Citibank checking account. This whole thing doesn't make any sense to me.

CT has some pretty stupid laws. You cannot buy a scalped ticket on eBay or any other online service at more that the face value of the ticket plus handling charges if the event is in the state of CT and you and/or the seller is a resident of CT. Crazy.

I live in CT and use Winticket (AmericaTab). I wanted to set up an account with NYRA since Winticket had to drop the TVG tracks. Thanks Blumenthal for protecting me! I can drive to a casino or an OTB, that's fine, but not the internet?

He claims that he's protecting children and compulsive gamblers. What a guy.

I received a fat legal letter from Nyra for my one account explaining the ramifications of their bankruptcy. Hard to make heads or tails out of it with all the legalese. Bottom line, is the money in our account safe there(when,if) they go under? Should we withdraw the majority of it?

[mes5107]

Looks like NYRA is available again on AmericaTab for wagering. That was fast. Anybody know the specifics?
