Conspiracy?
Anyone know what the deal is with Tampa Bay, then Gulfstream, then Parx (Philly) & their tote delay this afternoon? Seemed odd that these three tracks would have the same problem at right around the same time... Details would be much appreciated - just wondering what happened.

Do they all use the same tote company?

Many tracks do not process their wagers at the track itself, they use a wagering hub to process wagers and compute payoffs. Sounds like a hub went down for a period of time.

Yea I figured it might be a hub (working @ an OTB right now); was hoping someone in the know might pipe up. Also been reading too much Dick Francis - maybe someone tried to hack the system ?  (I hope that can't be anything but a joke...)

It seems like fixed-odds wagering still involves technology and sometimes there are issues with technology, so how does fixed-odds wagering address technolgy glitches, as you intimate?

I just starting another thread, "Held Hostage to states' rights", because njbets is down. From reading this thread, it seems to not be their fault, this time.
Want to play. Have no other ADW account.

I was getting no response at all would have had a losing bet at Tampa. I punched it three times to no avail. Then tried to bet Oaklawn it came back "we cannot process your wager at this time. I would have hit a $260 exacta but when I saw there was a tote delay figured it was the same company. Should be mad but I'm not as long as it wasn't only NJBets I can live with it.
Please don't let Scientific Games get the Monmouth lease.

FYI, Delta Downs, a very player friendly track, is holding up its races until the delay is fixed.
