Well, at least it's not as bad as what happened to me 2 yrs ago in Vegas. Opening day of Keeneland fall meet.... no contract, so no bets on the first race. They did settle it during the first race, so you could start betting on the second... of course, I had the cold TRI on the first and couldn't bet it.

One of these days, hopefully quick, the people will learn that the take is a function of how much is bet on the track... and if you withhold from adw's, then the overall take is dramatically lower, which means they're ALL losing money on it.
I know if I was running one, I'd want my signal put on everything. More people watching it, more betting on it, with similar takeouts (which is a given), then that means I'm making more $$ and can also put more into the purses for the horsemen. But then again, that makes sense, so it won't happen!

Is this the same dispute that has Ellis Park cancelled for now?

no. This one's only for the CA tracks (at least as of now).

So, it appears that no ADW's will be taking bets outside of CA?

Tuesday, 9AM EST, still have not seen anything official on this.

YouBet is promoting on their site that they will have Del Mar. TVG is running promos that they will have it. Is that wishful thinking or are we to assume that something has been finalized?

This surfaced this morning...

http://www.prweb.com/releases/2008/7/prweb1106794.htm

Del Mar Racing on TVG!

TVG to feature extensive live coverage and special programming throughout 69th Del Mar Racing Season

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) July 15, 2008 -- TVG, America's Horseracing Network, saddles up this July to bring horseplayers special programming and wagers for Del Mar Thoroughbred Club's summer meet.

So TVG and Youbet - is that it?
