What ADWs do you use?

[Grifter]

Trying to gauge how PA members get their money down. Lots of discussion re ADWs, but I'm not sure there's any clear idea of what ADW(s) are winning the popularity poll.

If this has been done before (recently), sorry to be repetitive.

... more to come

[Grifter]

... does this track with your (our) reality?

[Wickel]

I think BetPad should be an option. Lots of accounts were bumped to this ADW when Twin Spires took over Brisnet.

[FlyinLate]

You left out twinspires

[DJofSD]

You left out twinspires
That's OK since other aptly describes them. Oh my! and it's leading in the poll. Is it too late to change my vote?

[CBedo]

Here's my crazy lineup. I use PTC due to rebates. I use BetAmerica since they allow you to watch two tracks at once and provide some small rebates. I use Twinspires (from brisbet to betpad to twinspires in my state) to get discount on BRIS products, and I really like their Twinspires TV video setup. I am using offshore less and less but still do some for now.

By the way, the combination of Twinspires TV + BetAmerica allows me the ability to have three video streams going at once with pretty good quality....just make sure you have a fast connection!

Since the video links for BetAmerica don't expire you can just reuse the same link over and over and just change the track code. Then if you open the links with VLC it automatically opens the 1000k stream of that track. Since I have a Mac I can use the program called spaces to create multiple desktops so I can assign each track I want to watch its own desktop with each video set in full screen mode. Then I can easily use the arrow keys to scroll to each video real quickly. If I hit the F6 key then it brings up the picure i posted in the the link. Its an awesome setup for those that have a Mac and like to bet on multiple tracks at once and since there are always multiple races going off at once you can watch then all at the same time in great quality. Its very similar to how Twinspires TV works although they only allow for 1 big screen with the 4 smaller and pretty unwatchable screens under it.

very sweet

[Track Collector]

I know it is a minor correction, IRG is no longer in business.

[startngate]

I had to vote 'other', however I hardly think 'other' is the appropriate way to handle TwinSpires. They are one of the major players in the space whether the OP likes them or not.

[Cangamble]

Should have put HPI on the list. Lots of Canadians in the Pace Advantage woods.

[horseking]

I've seen several people mention BetAmerica for video...but are they a good site to wager at?

[Ted Craven]

PTC & HPI

Great topic, as I may go looking for others based on the responses---I really like YouBet---good platform easy deposits and good rewards--no rebates, though and phone wagering tough

[mannyberrios]

:1:Can I say Phonebet, They are pretty cool

[cmoore]

I use twinspires. They have really made some good improvements over the years..Much quicker to modify tracks. Video is clear..Replays are easy to get to. You can put in post time order the races that are coming up..By clicking the tools menu, you can get a glimpse of the possible overlays in the race. They call it ProfitLine. Conditional Betting. Ezmoney electronic transfers into your savings or checking account at no charge. Free ultimate pps on any races you bet on. Every Saturday they have a $25 handicapping contest. Currently they have a Leaderboard contest..12 spots up for grabs in Vegas..

... does this track with your (our) reality? NO. None of these outfits come close to TVG in almost any way you can name.

[jhilden]

I tried many ADW's and like twinspires. Many options, I love the tv, and free transactions to and from my bank account. I used Philly Parks phonebet for awhile but swtiched to TS for the free bris products

[GaryG]

I agree about TwinSpires. I took a hit in the Hinsdale thing, so I am strictly with TS now. Good video and no problems with the interface.

It is a great topic but a bad list of options with "other" being the highest vote getting. Twinspires, Phonebet, HPI and Betamerica, at the very least, have to be added. Needs to be started all over with a more compete list of options.

That is GREAT!:1:

If you like the set up seen in that picture, some place in the deep dark recesses of the PA forum is a posting with a link in it that shows Dick Schmidt's set up. Now that's impressive.

Hi cmoore,

I like your setup. I am interested in how you were able to get the 3 nice sized feeds of the races on the big screen setup. Thanks.

Jim
