Anybody use viphorses.com? I hit a link from DRF to their site. I am just wondering what it's like? :cool:

Camptown,,,,,,, a member of PA...... Has a relationship with them somehow... they sponsored a contest that a few PA guys played in,

Site seemed OK... As far as horses,, Here's a few things I did'nt like.

They shut off betting very early... 2-3 Mins to post

they don't take PIk4's or 6's

They CAP payoffs on a few wagers

Perhaps they don't comingle...I would think if they CAP payoffs.. thats the case... If your a BIG win pool player.. that may be good at smaller venues.

Off-shore books that don't co-mingle usually limit bet sizes at the smaller race tracks, even in the win pools.

As for the co-mingling, I don't believe for a second these guys don't turn around and put your money into the pools if they stand to lose money. Why wouldn't they?

The wagers you make through VIP will NOT hit the pools.

I've gotten screwed a couple of times on huge exactas and trifectas that they capped off, and a couple of my "Contest Players" had some problems when they played "Funny Money" at a couple of smaller tracks, but I have never had any problems with them.

I love the way the wagering terminal is setup.

Open a demo account and see what you think before you put any real money in with them.

I also play through betehorse as well...

VIP sponsored my HR Contest, and is the only Racebook that you will see on my new site...

The URL says exactly what to expect from my new site...

Later all...

PS

I'm chomping at the bit for this weekends Pick4 contest...
