if youve seen the tote machines at crc you would know they seem to have been designed by cavemen. there are bets you are either unable to make at all that are available at other tracks or the way you must punch in the plays are ridiculous

Have you gotten the AM Tote machines yet, if not you are supposed to be next. The new tote machines here at FG and Arlington are what CDI is moving to, I was talking with the guy in charge of them last week at the track. But anyway, we can use our twinspires.com cards here in the tote machines, Arlington will be able to also supposedly this summer, and I think Calder is the next one they are going to. He said CDI wanted it all tried out at the other tracks before they put them in Kentucky.

As far as this having anything to do with future wagers, I don't know but when I see him again I will ask him if it can accomodate the large nimbers, if I can stand him being in my face and violating my 3 ft of personal space, he is a strange dude...

That started last summer at AP too. Basically acts as a debit card that you can load and wager as normal, but much quicker. If you want printed tickets as receipts, that is an option as well.

Oh, he told me AP couldn't use them yet, told you he was a strange dude.

We've always had the "debit" cards here with FGNetBet so didn't even think about not being able to use TS cards. I like the machines, much better than scientific games before.
