Youbet a total waste

Ever since the Brisbet-Betpad fiasco, I opened an account and Youbet and have experienced nothing but trouble. Today, I couldn't get any bets in after the King's Bishop. Earlier in the day, they were experiencing audio problems. Last week it was money deposit problems. Everyday it's something new. I can't believe these guys. I have an old account with Phonebet that I think I'll fire back up, but I'm not sure they take many of the West Coast tracks. Probably my only other option is Premier, but I don't have an arm and a leg to give just to sign up.

This racing game's getting out of hand. The "little guy" is screwed every which way.

I didn't have any trouble closing my account.

Don't forget, it is a big day all over the country for racing.

Had no problems with ubet today, but may be done with all of them, period.
I say this seriously. I love the game, the animals, and the challenge.
Don't be fooled that I can't give this up, and won't be alone, thinking I will always 'need' it.
I AM tired of it. Something better change, and soon. I will wait, but not much more.

It was a real struggle to get a bet down after the King's Bishop for me too....pissed me off big time, although, I think it saved me $$$$.

On the other hand, I was betting with both fists at ALB through BrisBET and actually made some decent coin....who woulda thunk it?

I wonder if using the Wager Pad Pro on YouBet was the cause of my problem. Hammerhead, are you using WPP or the old wager pad?

Had problems with getting an updated balance on youbet today - it hung up and eventually gave up trying to update each time, and got messages about balance problems. Later, when I closed all my IE windows but 1, and deleted all my temp online files & restarted IE, everything with youbet worked fine afterwards. Similar things have happened, and clearing has usually been the answer. I sense that all the videos, and maybe the individual bets fill up the cache quite a bit - seems to happen when I place a lot of wagers in a rather short amount of time (2-3 days). For what ever it's worth.

The next time we have an ALB promotion we will license the slogan from you.

Maybe we can get some hats made up.

Thank you for your clever suggestion.

Great interface by the way.
Thanks again for starting it.

YouSuc was pathetic today.
In fact, the whole damn day of racig sucked.

I think it may be time to just quit this stupid sport run by mental incompetants and in-bred relatives.

I was doing great at SAR then suddenly You suc fails to do it's simple job - take bets. Meanwhile, I'm stuck with the even worse XpressCrap trying to bet a pathitically bad little part time track to make a point to somebody who probably can't add or read to begin with. My buycott turned into a boycott of the whole sport. I bet one race at ALB and will never even downlaod their PPs again.

There is more to life than horse racing - and almost all of it is better run by semi intelligent people. Why waste my time on this crap????

Count me out.

They can shut it all down for all I care.

I think it's spelled ALPO!

I'm actually going to Finger Lakes. Only place I can reliably make a bet and watch the race at the same place. You take your internet AWDs and stick them all where the sun don't shine.
