Any idea how the real time delay of Twin Spires streaming video compares with that of YouBet? Is the delay any shorter?
I have been using YouBet video for many years simply for watching my action, but my play style this year has evolved into a very tote-sensitive strategy. I installed RTN a few months ago, and love it. I can wait for horses to load before placing my bets, and it's perfect for what I need.
But I live in a high-rise condo that has just made me take my dish down from the balcony. If I want to keep RTN at home, I'm going to need to find a new home. I'm willing to sacrifice a few seconds in real time to stay in my present home by using Twin Spires. But if their feed is similar to YouBet's, that real-time delay, which varies by track from :30 seconds or so to over a minute, will not suffice.
Of course I'm ready to go ahead and test this on my own. But I've got a week of business travel ahead of me, so any insight from existing Twin Spires users is appreciated.
