Horse Racing - YouBet?

[Jeffage]

Anyone use this site to bet horses? I'm thinking of starting an account just to mess around a bit. You can pay by CC? Cash out via check? Service? Legality? Etc.

Im sorry that i can't really provide info but, my friend has an account there and I log in to it to watch feeds from tracks that are not on TVG.

Brisbet is my horse site of choice for wagering but, I cant get thier vids to work.

Thanks to the horse-racing lobbyists, youbet.com is legal in the US, though they don't take wagers from certain states. They seem to have pretty good handicapping info for members. I don't use it myself, so I can't tell if they give a rebate on wagers. That rebate is key--some online sites give back 10% of your stake, win or lose. That changes a -20% EV into -10%, which is beatable with a lot of work.

If you don't need video or data just use Bodog, otherwise I agree with Kev, Brisbet >>> Youbet.

Why is Brisbet better?

Fewer fees, good check processor, good free data, I am not the person to speak about the specifics tho, I have always bet offshore.

They were also very concise come tax time... gave me all the info I needed when it came time to file.

I'm also starting to get seriously into horse racing. I love Bodog, but they don't offer mobile wagering. Any one have any thoughts on TVG? Looks like BrisBet offers mobile too.
