Betting horses with a Palm Pilot

[fishorsechess]

Recently Brisnet has been advertising
Brisbet.mobile.com. Using a Palm Pilot
to place your bets. Its a dream of convenience
for any horseplayer to be able to watch
the tote odds whereever you are and place
bets.

How's the security on this? If you're talking about wireless, your password (for one) is out there for all to steal otherwise.

I use my cell phone all the time to see live odds, changes, scratches, etc.

I then use the cell phone to call in the bet.

What the hell is a palm pilot...sounds kinky!!

It's an electronic razor for the express purpose of shaving one's palm-- some manufacturers even make special attachments for it to allow shaving one's tongue.....

Think of a small computer that fits in your jacket pocket, in the cradle of your palm. It could funtion as your electronic rolodex, contain your stable & business database / spreadsheets, pictures, music, most books can be purchased in electronic form and downloaded to if for reading directly from it.....you can browse the web, make cellular calls with it.......
