Where does amwager rank?
If you can let us know who you choose and post some feedback that would be much appreciated!
An ADW rating service provided by HANA would be useful to horseplayers.

Sorry for the delay responding - 2000+ mile move last couple of weeks.
Yes, the big 3 are XB, TS and TVG, IMHO. They are the only choices in states like Washington and Illinois, where the onerous state requirements squeeze out the smaller ADWs - or at least it was that way a few years ago when I last moved. Since I ended up back in Illinois instead of Indiana, I don't think I'll have any new choices to pick from or review. <sigh>
Logged into TS to check to see if Ellis is running today, 'cause it's hot. Very humid, with real feel temp 10 degrees higher than ambient. But nowhere could I find the "schedule" button on the new TS interface. It wasn't until I logged in, selected Ellis for betting, and then saw that '0' MTP for the 9th that I got the first clue it was canceled. Then I checked the more useful PA site to learn a water main break was the cause of the cancellation, and not the heat.
I did notice the new MTP displays for many other tracks I NEVER EVER PLAY do take up much of the real estate on the new menus. A very tablet oriented design, and apparently one engineered for the chronic, degenerate horseplayer who needs action every two minutes. And the video quality is a major problem for me as well.
So, while I'll keep the TS account as long as they are the only ones carrying Hong Kong, I'll just be making the token wagers at other tracks to get the free PPs, and do most of my wagering at XB. Not really in the mood to reward bad behavior and what amounts to customer abuse....
