That's counterintuitive to me.

I'm sure that is a typo. PTC is the best thing for bettors online I've seen. I can't wait to get back to the US in a few months and start using all the incredible tools Ian has put together. They make all other ADWs look silly.

So when are we going to have Woodside Associates and the other PA shills advertise here?

I'm not sure how anyone that bets money could be anti-PTC.

I agree, but what is lacking is the tracks, but he is working on it. The second he gets California, I am over there for good. I get the feeling though that once he gets some of these bigger tracks, the other ADW's might follow suit, because the only thing that Twin Spires has, and it is the most important strength, is their tracks. Everything else they offer is complete garbage. If I could create an ADW I would create it as follows

1) Youbet's wagering platform
2) Twin Spires Video
3) PTC's wagering opportunitys (dutching, 'if' wagers)
4) PTC's customer service/management

The important thing is the are providing quality competition and a lot of innovation, usually unheard of in any facet of the game.

They already do. I don't mess with the IRS.

Good idea.

I equate the PTC threads on here to telemarketing. I'm against being sold something when I'm not looking for said product/service. That's the beauty of the do not call list and it was a nice little feature of this site.

Plus nothing irritates me more with this deal than the blatant cheerleading of a service that doesn't offer what I'm looking for. Sure Keeneland is a nice addition but it's a very short meet.

The chances of PTC getting CDI and Magna tracks are slim to none and unfortunately that won't change until one or both of them folds.

And really if people on this board want to be sold something...I highly suggest and recommend Paceadvantage.com.

Now the_fat_b.itch...he's calling me an idiot? Boo hoo. Guess I don't b.itch enough to earn his approval.

I agree, I love that about this site. I don't think he was selling though.

Nah this isn't a sales tactic...

"PTC is not the place for you if you feel takeout is not too high or you feel that cash rebates are wrong. It is also not the place for you if you don't want a superior betting interface, conditional wagering or dutching capabilities."

...It's like he's selling a Benz when in reality it's a Hyundai.

Sorry, I was trying to do too many things at once this morning. It's the opposite way around, of course. It will show me not to multi-task. Walking and chewing gum at the same time is still hard for me.
