View Full Version : Winticket in OR, Be Wary of New Phone OPs

Winticket completed moving its phone center to Oregon, the 1st day of operation was today.
The website was down today so I called in a bet for WO R4 with 2-3 min to post.

I made a WP bet & noticed that my balance hadn't moved when I called in another bet later, though my horse had run 2nd. Anyway when the website came back up I found my bet had been placed on the harness race (& lost).

I had to call Ohio on my dime (customer service is still there, but no 800#) & I'll get my wager refunded but not the lost winnings------which wasn't much since the horse just placed. If the horse had won (I surprised he didn't since I didn't really have a bet on him:rolleyes:) I'd need a Prozac or Valium or two.

Moral: when calling human tote ops, especially the newbies @ Winticket, better specify that you want your jock on top of the horse---not in a wagon trailing it.

On the other hand Winticket was supposed to expand its track list; however odds for PrM weren't available tonight. Does Bris have them all the time?

I use racingchannel.com for my odds board, and I have to go to Supertote for Prairie Meadows and some other tracks once in a while. And sometimes, I have to go to YouBet for a track neither one has.

Thanks for the info, Butch. Up until yesterday, would have recommended winticket who uses Supertote with limited track coverage. On Friday they expanded track coverage to nearly all tracks one would want. On Saturday could not even login to winticket??

Hope it's just startup problems on the move to Oregon.

MtKen.......have had the same harness/thorobred problem on WO with my AWI account.

So tonight, 5th race...racing channel showes completely different horses in the results than winticket. I didn't play the race so don't know if they paid out right or not. They are very suspect after the move..I would watch your bets and make sure you check other sources for results.

PS..they showed the 2 horse winning paying 9.20..racing channel had the 10 at 35.00!!
