$49.95 = too expensive

$600.00 for the year is ridiculous. Most people can watch the races for free using their betting platform.
In my opinion, this package is only good for bar/restauraunts that might be located near an OTB/Track. This way they would be able to cater to the racing fanbase and have them spend time in their establishment instead of sitting in the dismal OTB all day.

you've got me thinking...i was considering opening a sports bar, but one where people could also access computers to place bets-this would work well there!

i'm in the southeast corner-half hour from lousiana, not quite an hour to mississippi. it's actually a good place to live-i'm within a days drive from a lot of good places to visit.
but...pretty deep in the boondocks. as for tv, til we got dish, i got ONE channel thru the antenna. have dish for internet too, the only alternative is dial-up-no cable.

Almost all the horses in Chicago have Wi-Fi. I used to roll into Buffalo Wild Wings and be playing the horses, eating boneless wings, and watching football/baseball/college basketball....Good fun

Dish network does not offer any local programming in my area, which is a problem for everyone else in the household not wanting to watch racing 24/7. Besides, my wife wouldnt let me watch 50 dollars worth of racing on my TV. I can watch as much as I want on my computer now for free.

Most sports bars around here do too. They installed the wi-fi to mainly cater to the fantasy football geeks, but it works well with horse racing too.
