Leo, I just signed up for it less than 2 weeks ago. No NYRA tracks, but it does have Tampa. Easy to use.

Diamond is part of the CRIS group, right? That includes Bookmaker.com.

The 8% is for exotics. It's 3% for WPS.

Diamond and Bookmaker are both "A" rated at Sportsbookreview.com.

Sportsbook.com is "D-" rated at Sportsbookreview.com. Here's why:

http://www.sportsbookreview.com/SR.a...Sportsbook.com

Here's a small part from that link:

"11/23/2007 04:08 PM

Sportsbook.com (SBR rating D-) steals $10,000 from player claiming he abused bonuses. The player took offered deposit bonuses over a three year period from three different books that are hosted and serviced under Sportsbook.com. Sportsbook.com classified accepting these bonuses as "bonus abuse" despite the fact that rules against accepting offers from the multiple Sportsbook.com-service books do not exist and that the player followed the listed terms of service when joining. Sportsbook.com confisctated the funds shortly after the player's profit grew beyond what he had received in bonuses over the life of these accounts. All bonus requirements were met and previously withdrawn. Sportsbook.com terms of service do not refer to a rule allowing the book to audit account and bonus history to see if promotions were used "in the spirit of the bonus." This has been a reoccurring complaint from Sportsbook.com users over the past few months. Sportsbook.com has used other illogical reasoning to take money back from winning users. SBR is currently collecting data on a player case where over $150,000 was confiscated. The timeline of player and book activity will be published early next week."



Not good.

Default TwinSpires

They are changing their policy in 2008 with the free pp's. They are going back to the old policy of the pp is free if you wager on the track. A $2 show bet will still get you the free pp for the track if you can't find anything to bet. The good news is that the service rep that I spoke to said NYRA will be a regular track again with video and on-line wagering effective Jan 1.

Is Diamond new? I've never heard of them before. Have to do some due diligence on them. Is it 8% on everything or just on exotics like Bookmaker.com?

Irish, you may have a tough time with Twin Spires and Xpress bet if you live in MI. YouBet accepts new customers from MI. I had Xpress Bet 4 years ago but they claimed the state made them close out accounts based in MI. Our recession and population exodus are more of a priority in Lansing than any gambling expansion or equality for horse players.

You may need an IN PO box or relatives address to use some of the newer ADW sites.

Well that didn't take long for Twinspires to stick it to their loyal Brisbet customers:

TwinSpires Updated FREE PP Policy
TwinSpires is happy to announce the popular FREE BRIS PP promotion has been extended into 2008. Members will continue to receive complimentary past performances on every Thoroughbred track they wager on. As you may recall this is a return to the old FREE PP promo. In 2007 when you placed a wager you received FREE BRIS past performances for all Thoroughbred tracks for that same race date. Now the promotion is tied to the tracks you wager on. This new criteria will also be in play for the FREE Insider Picks & Power Plays. All and all it is still the best deal in racing. To learn more on how to take advantage of this incredible offer
