I am actually quite impressed with Xpressbet. I was telling Byk about two weeks ago that they sucked but since being forced to use them, I am impressed with what they have to offer. That being said, no one beats Youbet's layout and ease of information. I can process information available to me about 3 times faster using Youbet (from a click and open window standpoint) then I can with other sites. With Youbet it is all layered information, with the others you have to open new windows or change the whole f'n screen

When you bet with Xpressbet you are betting with Magna. They joined together with Churchhill and formed Tracknet. This parnership gives them leverage when they negotiate with ADW's and other race tracks. Churchill will start their own wagering platform which they've named Twin Spires.

This whole situation is the big tracks getting more money for their product. Steve Crist has been writting about this for years and the tracks are finally coming to their senses. In turn people who wager through Youbet, or AmericaTab,or TVG will be left to choose other alternatives if the wish to wager on non TVG exclusive tracks.

Of course, there are those of us who have no choice in their ADW. I cannot simply 'take my business elsewhere', because I am stuck with either WinTicket or Xpressbet.

Still sucks being in Arizona...

Im not up to date on all the legal ins and outs but I have been under the assumption it is not legal here in texas so I restrict my betting to the simo at lonestar.I remember before full card simocast,every week-end ,some of the bigger races would be offered around. The thing you needed to watch was that some of the tracks had there own pools and thus varing odds on the same races. MY question is could Youbet offer wagering with there own pools, even without the signal?If they could, wouldnt this be the thing they could show in black and white that Churchill is loosing? I guess it could go the other way and prove the effectivmess of Churchills position.

New Jersey is No Bargin either.... they Finally opened a OTB.... after being approved 3 years ago.... maybe in about 2 more years they will open another one.....

What sucks even more for me in Tucson is that there is a major legal battle going on between Turf Paradise, the Tucson Greyhouse Park, and Rillito Race Track, and for several months now, there has been no OTB's or Simo's to wager on horses. None at all.

I don't see the battle ending soon, either, so I will either have to drive 2 hours to Phoenix to bet on Belmont day, or none at all...

And Racing WONDERS why the game loses customers... To drive 2 hrs to make a bet.. in this age, of computers, cell phones, fax machines.. the answer is... ""well you can get in your car, pay $3.00+ a gallon and DRIVE two hours to make your bet""... Go figure
