I have offered to pay for advertising space here. I have yet to get a reply. My offer still stands. We pay for advertising all over the internet. I would be happy to pay for it on Derby Trail.

I hope you make it big time. I like to see innovation rewarded.

The Conditional Wagering idea is a quantum leap ahead of what the big guys are offering. Right now I'm on vacation. I don't want to be tied to my computer at a specific time. If I knew I could be putting in an odds threshold for my bets, I'd bet more often and I'd make bigger bets. Even when I'm at home there are many times I'd rather put my bets in early.

Again, great idea. I'll be surprised if others don't scramble to copy you.

PS--PillowPants, I don't like to see a self-plug either. But when the announcement includes advanced info that I wasn't aware of, I don't mind at all.

Another thing, Pillow. It can be valuable to have a service posting here so that ideas can be suggested and complaints can be aired. I wish a top YouBet rep was posting here.

There is no way that this will work right away, they can't even stay up on the biggest day of the year, server wise.....

Let me see if I understand this.

Let's say I want to bet Casino Drive to win in the Belmont Stakes, but I am only willing to accept odds of 7-5 or higher. However, when wagering opens, his odds are 6-5, and they creep lower from there, never reaching 7-5. Does this mean I have no bet?

This sounds like a disaster waiting to happen for a lot of reasons.
