YouBet not taking Saratoga today?

[Jens]

Just wondering if anyone knows why trying to make a wager at Saratoga through YouBet I get "Pool Closed." I tried using firefox and ie with the same result from 20 mins to first race till just now???

[Jens]

Never mind. They accepted a play on race 3 so I guess they fixed the problem.

Yes;

And they will even give you 10 points per exotic dollar toward that new toaster we have all been dreaming of.

Incentive for WPS is a big fat ZERO and a copy of the home game from Carol Merrill.

Actually Dan,

As a CA resident I get zero points no matter how much or what type of wager. Supposidly against the law. Kinda funny though, years ago when I went to the nearest simulcast site they were advertising their Golden State Rewards program. Bet x dollars and earn free entry to the site. Bet x more dollars and pick out something from the gift shop etc. Things that make you go hmmmmmm. Like I said, I haven't been to a simulcast site for years so maybe they stopped enticing us poor little lambs that way. Or maybe it's only against the state law for ADW's to do it?????

Best of luck to you Jen,

I hope you win enough today to buy the gift shop!

at one time, it's probably because they couldn't figure out how to TAX you on it!

They actually cancelled that program (Golden State Rewards)about a year and a half ago. I thought it was pretty cool, but for whatever reason, it was cancelled.

I'm able to use the DelMar and Hollywood Park Players Club cards at the local reservation OTBs and get a friendly welcome. The only advantage I've seen to using these cards in California is that I get mailers from both clubs with coupons, discounts and a chance to randomly win $15,000.00. Neither card makes me a better handicapper, but a boy can dream!
