I played a little there this summer for arlington but that was about it, them not taking wagers in SA other then BC days was my last straw

I love their conditional bet wager... no more betting a 7/2 shot on the morning line before I go to work, come home and see that he lost at 4/5 then pull my hair out yelling "There's no way I would have bet him at 4/5!!!!!!!!"

in theory it sounds like a good idea. The one time i used that feature i set it to the price of 4-1 on a horse, needless to say horse lost and went to the gate at 7-2, money gone. I had to call customer service and explain my bet, and how 4-1 is higher then 7-2 in order to get my funds back..... it just seems like more of a hassel then what its worth

BT your problem is very easy to figure out you set your cond bet at 4-1 then you have to set a time when you want your bet to take place 1 min to post 2 min to post and so on. more than likely your bet went in at 1 min to post and at the time you horse was 4-1 or higher.then when the horse went to post he was 7/2 . I think were you have overlooked is your cond bet does not go to post time.

personally I have had that happen a couple of times plus I always set my bets for 1 min to post best I can remember the last time it happened to me was I believe i set my bet at 5/2 horse wound up going off a 2/1 but my bet went through because at 1 min to post he was 5/2
