IN all honesty, this looks like a situation where it will get real tense within the AWD industry and just explode and some serious discussions will happen once companies start losing out.

Just means I can go to trackside and talk to Bill Downes Sr more often, which is a real treat.

Brutal news.

Customer screwed...again.

yea just the big guys trying to muscle away business.

Just plain stupid. Handle drives the game. Making it difficult to play helps no one.

If there was some sort of unity between people that wager, the tracks, online companies, etc... would all come to an understanding much more quickly. Its too bad people cant hold back from betting at one track or thru one provider for a week. The pocket hurting has a beautiful way of making things work out.

And it does not seem like a great sign that, with two days to Opening Day at Churchill Downs, that Twin Spires site is still not up and running.

That is just downright dumb by them, Youbet used to CRASH all the time on big days, (not anymore)...Do they think they are just going to be running smoothly on the highest wagering day of the year...crazy thinking going on right there by CHD

They're dreaming if they think at this late date to get it up and running and people converted over and learn to use their interface etc. It takes time.
Screw them, for betting the derby i'll use brisbet since they sold their soul.

after that i'll be loyal to youbet. at least they had the balls to stand up to this nonsense.

Used to have to bet way early just to make sure you could get 'em in.

I'm sure TS is Beta testing and with a handfull of people and everything is smooth, but come Derby Day, watch the crash happen....

They should have been up and running for a month or two before the Derby. They are arrogant and naive to think they can launch this thing Derby Week.

I'll be at the 2nd most beautiful track on Derby Day, because I'll be damned if I am going to give Magna my business and juice my Xpressbet account to play Churchill.

I just got off the phone with XpressBet. That place is an ADVENTURE.

They told me that I need to reactivate my account (ok, I understand this) and that for the first three months, I won't be able to withdrawal via electronic check until I become a VIP member (1,000 wagered a month, um that is like 5 wagers for me). She had to put me on hold three times until she could tell me if they had a reward program.

DOWN GOES THE AWD industry......

I would probably have to re-activate mine too, it's been years. I signed up when they first started to check out their software, deposited $100 and when it was gone, I was back to Youbet.
