It takes a "psychic" to tell them that a sports stadium is a likely target?!?! I've been psychic all my life and didn't know it!

I read today that Sam Maple died. Remember him? He was Eddie Maple's brother. One of the few brother tandems to race against each other in the KY Derby.

Well, what I thought was going to be a great thing w/ Youbet signing on NYRA, So Cal and KY has turned out to really backfire. By solving one problem, they have created another problem. Instead of being able to bet ALL tracks, now you can only bet the TVG tracks or bet the non TVG tracks. In addition, it now cost about $20/month to wager with them and $0 to wager through Winticket/Brisbet. Unfortunately, something that I was very high on is now very low on my list. Youbet is/were the Prodigy (ISP) of the internet horse racing industry. Bye bye Youbet, was fun while it lasted.

The quarter per ber $20 a month is flawed plan. You just can't charge a fee for something that is free from others no matter how good you think your product is.


It's a shame I like the Youbet software and the video on a dsl is not to bad. Hope they make it through the winter...hate to drive over to the track in the snow!!!

Or women in tank tops or thongs!. What a great country we live in! :D
