I just started the 60-day free trial with youbet.com, and so far-so good, but for those of you who are members, I have a question...If I am paying $17.95 per month (what they consider premium subscription), do I have to pay for the Race Replays, 2X Video, and the Turf Stats on top of that, or are those features included in the $17.95...

I appreciate it

None of those are included in the $17.95. Each of them costs extra. If you're going to buy the basic unlimited live feed, you might want to pay for it in 3, 6, or 12 month increments, as they're cheaper per month and lock in that rate for the balance of the term purchased.

That pretty much blows then...I did a search on the forums here, and the other favorite seems to be BrisBet, but since I live in AZ, I guess I can't bet there...

If you bet some minimum amount of money every month (and it's not a whole lot) you bet is free. So no problems...

I have been using Brisbet for a couple of years and did not have one problem so far. But the video could be a tad sharper.

I Recently opened a betting acc, @ Wd ,

You can deposit your cash three ways Cash @ the track,

Visa, or Debit card, over phone or in person @ track,

This gives me access to all the simulcast plus live races @ WD

can be downloaded on media player ( may be fuzzy.)

You require a local address & postal code, or arrange for one.

It also includes the standardbreds. There is no fee.

The future has arrived for me if i can just improve my capping.

Enjoying my retirement,,,,,Regards

You talking about youbet.com?

Yikes. I would rate is as the worst video on the net, and and a D- overaly site.
Nice ideas, nice layout, but poor on delivery. BrisBet vieo is FAR better. You can go in and make adjsutments to color, hue, contrast, etc. YouBet has only one setting - poor. YouBet could be the best site if they would hire some technical people who understood video and web type stuff. Until then, they are a last resort for me.

Tom,

Have you used YouBet Express (internet version) recently? The video is much crisper and clearer on my machine than Brisbet video. The standalone YouBet version is about the same as BrisBet video for me. I rarely use Xpressbet but agree with the prior poster that their video is clear. TVG video leaves something to be desired (rebuffers too much, reminding me of the days of dial-up). The best video I have seen is formerly from the Woodbine and Meadowlands site..very clear...and YouBet Express ranks right up there with that.

I use the internet version of YouBet. The video is ok, but you can't adjust it. BrisBet allows adjsutments to the picture. Some tracks are very dark and hard to see the numbers or colors.

YouBet's video works great for me. Last year the AP video was sometimes too bright on a sunny day, not sure who monitors all the videos the track sends, maybe an adjustment thing could be nice. But I haven't had that problem the dozen or so times I've watched from home this season.

In the Video Replays, it would be nice to be able to pause and go backwards, rather than start from the begining every time. But I rarely have time to get involved with watching replays, etc. (I receive a trip/speed service for the track I bet most often, AP/HAW).

I have no qualms against YouBet. I beleive if you bet $300 a month thru them , the service will be free? Such a small amount for a whole month, should be easy? I have the dual vids set up, worth it for me. But, my dang computer may take a fit here and there :D ( I blame the war room )
