I don't have Youbet, but I heard someone at the track yesterday say NYRA is also off that site as well. He was saying you get only audio during the race, with a black screen, until the race is official. Then the video comes back on. Not sure if this is true or not.

YOUBET streams NYRA to every state they operate in except New York. You can thank OTB for pressuring the state to prohibit on-line video streaming of NYRA racing within New York. Supposedly racefans are supposed to start streaming into the OTB's and track with no on-line video.

Of course they are. The rules are written by politicians and they need to make sure the nephews have a job. If you could get a live signal at home OTB would even be more in the red. |
I can't watch NYRA live except on TVG or HRTV, and TVG is on delay sometimes. I live 7 mile from FL and cannot bet it at all on the net.
Stupid state we live in. My wagering dollars are now 100% going out of state.
Screw NY, Screw FL, Screw NYRA.
What a totally studid industry this is.:ThmbDown::ThmbDown::ThmbDown:

What NYRA can or cannot do on its own site is not relevant to this particular conversation as far as I see it because Joe P. Customer at HPI or 4NJBets flat out doesn’t give a rats ass about what NYRA can or cannot do on its own ADW site. What they do care about is that before this little shakedown for some extra cash by NYRA they were able to watch the races live and now they can’t. Its really just that simple. In addition, there are plenty of alternative tracks to play and here is the reason why I don’t think you will see either HPI or 4NJBets fork over the extra money and why I think it was a bit foolish of NYRA to play hardball (in addition to obvious factor of needlessly pissing off your customer base, but they can't help that they are too gifted at it), both of those entities have competing tracks which could feasibly be the beneficiary and get some more action if those playing NYRA get ticked off and decide to play elsewhere and if that is the case, they will make a lot more money per dollar wagered.

I don't think they intended to hurt the fans. I doubt they even ever considered the fans.:rolleyes:

Wait a sec... :bang: Are you telling me NY residents cannot watch NYRA races live on youbet or TW??
That's news to me, unbelieveable! |

Yeah ny residents can't watch nyra online through any of the adw's. Xpressbet takes nyra and I think finger lakes to bet but they don't let you watch it from their site. They don't allow ny residents to watch or wager on the my harness tracks at all. The only way around this that I know of is to sign up for an account on www.youbet.net and when they ask for a zip code give one from a state that has no restrictions and you can watch the ny tracks with no restrictions. |

I researched the official DRF charts and discovered the following:
First 8 days handle 2007 Belmont Fall Meet: 58 million
First 8 days handle 2008 Belmont Fall Meet: 50 million
First 8 days handle 2009 Belmont Fall Meet: 43 million
Keep up the good work NYRA!

Who wants to bet that within the next month or two there will be some articles surfacing with lots of hand wringing about how NYRA desperately needs the VLT situation sped up because they are running out of cash quicker then they had initially anticipated. :D

You can bet it on the net Tom, but you need yet another account, NYRA's, which you as a NY resident are entitled to get. I like it though when I bet at home I just watch on TV.
Just as a side note, I've been looking into how to bet English and Irish tracks and guess what? You need 2 different accounts to be able to cover that as well. I'm just waiting til OTB system blows up (and I'm starting to believe it might) and then things should change quite a bit. |

Actually, it's quite relevant, as it illustrates perfectly how absolutely ****ED UP this industry is at times...it makes the non-video at HPI or 4NJBets seem tame by comparison...
There is NO REASON why NYRA should be restricted from showing their races LIVE on their own website... |

Possible Reason For This Situation
If you go to www.equidaily.com and click on the third article from the top
which starts with "Unseen", there is a very interesting article. There is a
reference to the New Jersey Racing Commission starting with the 15th
paragraph. I posted a comment at the end of the article. We'll see if anyone
responds.
Something else I found interesting: If you go to www.thebigm.com and enter
NYRA in the search engine, you'll find every press release regarding any
interruption in wagering or video from NYRA that was NYRA's fault, yet
nothing this time around. |

Still no end in sight...
Another weekend with no video...
Good Job to all those involved...

Probably because it is not NYRA's fault. My guess is 4njbets was trying to say they were an extension of simulcasting when in fact they are an ADW. I also guess they don't want to pay for the NYRA signal because if they do that, they will have to start paying fees for all the other tracks like ADWs do. By ignoring the situation, they can continue disputing the fact they are an ADW. |
