They already had free video and free replay. They are now taking it away from those who don't bet enough. Or the many who have an HPI account but bet where they are respected as a customer.

Twinspires has pretty much the same requirements..although i dont believe theres a option to pay for race replays...you either wager enough to have them or you can not access them.

anglemaster · 07-16-2009, 07:55 PM

CANGAMBLE the difference now is that previous to today, you could only watch video of tracks that were not on digital cable for the day.(except of course for WO and Mohawk). IE . If Belmont was on the HPI lineup you could not watch the video, now you can.
I think it is another great move by WEG

nativenova · 07-16-2009, 09:07 PM

You mean I can now watch Mountaineer live as opposed to waiting to see it on tape delay after the next race has already run......

I see that now. Earlier in the day when I made that comment that wasn't the case. Maybe they were slow with the Niagara region.

I'll make sure I barely meet their limits. You can only play their 20 cent supers and win 4's through them anyway.

They'll continue to get less than one tenth of my total handle.

Where can I sign up?

An ADW is letting horseplayers watch the races they bet on if they play enough money? What a good deal.

Good One. Ha Ha Ha.

Well, it is about time. No more using cbssports (keeping under 30 minutes a day), calracing, and whatever tracks HPI seemed to randomly decide to let me see. Last time I wrote them I said I am not going to bet on any tracks (at least not with them) that don't have video...haven't been able to see a NY, KY, CA race on HPI ever.

Finally! Now i can cancel my HPITV.

As an American resident, this does me no good, though getting video for any track I want is not an issue thankfully. Would be nice to have one more source as the more the better.

lamboguy · 07-17-2009, 12:13 PM

with me you can watch your vidieo and replays, get your racing forms free, and get a rebate to go along with the other things.

anglemaster,
I'm glad you explained this,as I was ready to tell CG he was nuts!
Though over 95% of my usual play is harness,whenever I bet HANA pool parties I could not get video to watch.Since those were the only tbred races I wager on,I just shrugged it off as no big deal.
BUT!!I am considering learning that part of the game,and video certainly would be a necessity.
Thanks again,
TTRAC

Thanks for playing! Friday's the Mountain signal is rarely on til later on HPI, so video certainly will help tonight for race 2!

Thanks again for playing.
