BC online/phone betting performance

[ceejay]

I was at the track for BC day so I don't know, but how did the various online betting services and phone betting services perform on BC day? I heard from a friend that BRISBET was difficult to get to either on-line or phone. What about youbet, fairgrounds or some of the others?

EBet performance was great. Placed several wagers during the BC and experienced no delays.

BrisBet ws totally useless. Net of phone.
finally gave up and left them. Actually missed on exact box - never got a confirmation and couldn't verify it was placed. It wasn't, but it lost, so that was good. These guys need to learn a few things - they aren't reliable on heavy days.
YouBet surprised the H**L out me...now waiting on any wagter-almost instantaneous.
WROTB -some delays, but not long.
Ladbroke call a bet - no problems.

Although I had to refresh my YouBet screen a few times, unfortuantely I was still able to get all my bets in for the Breeders Cup. :(

ACES Gold Casino was-well aces. I actually went and changed my bet when Exogenous fell to to include the winner Unbridles E.

Only I didn't allow enough time as I was riveted to the TV set watching Exogenous. After the bell, as the horses went out of the gate I hit the submit button-it didn't come back until the horses were well down the track 3-5 seconds later. i fully expected the bet to be disallowed but to my surprise it took the bet. After the race I kept expecting the bet to be cancelled -but I was impressed as they allowed it and registered my winnings for the bet.

Maybe it was because I started the process before the bell went off- or maybe because it was only a $5 bet. I ddn't test the time limits the rest of the day but had no trouble betting all of the BCup races.

Now I should menton I haven't tried to withdraw from Aces Gold but I have heard from others that they are reliable.

YouBet was working so good Saturday, I stayed on and played the night track, too, which I wasn't going to do.
But the video was flawless and I couldn't pass it up.
Hats off to YouBet, great job. I have say that since I have bashed them so badly in the past. Racing is a lot more fun when you can actually watch the horseys run around the little circle!

Tom--apparently alot of services had problems this year, Brisbet being one of them.
They know it though, as I have talked to them and they are developing a plan to solve
what happened to both the internet and the phone service. Give them a chance as I
have always found them to be very receptive to criticism as well as good humor about
my mistakes.
