scavs - youbet in illinois ?? trouble
http://news.bloodhorse.com/viewstory.asp?id=33789
this is an article that speaks to youbet being in more states than the laws allow, tvg is 100% legal and youbet is in trouble. |
Yeah, it should be interesting...It doesn't effect me because I wager through Pinnacle now, as it is
|
"Based on what we know of right now, from what we're hearing, those comments sound to both be totally inaccurate, as well as verging on being reckless."
-Spokeman for Youbet quoted in the article. I'd be shocked to find out a large corporation is operating in violation of a cease and desist order. This is something that 1 Congressman said on the floor of the house. Did you know that Congresspeople cannot be sued for slander in speech made within Congress? It's protected the same way you and I cannot be sued (for slander) for testimony in court. Youbet has a legal department. Think about it. |
you can not get a tvg account to wager online because its illegal in illinois. tvg has a media outlet, a television station, and a legal department, yet they do not allow it.
i went through the preocess of signing up and then at the end of the preocess they say, sorry illinois doesn't allow it. someone is right and someone is wrong. i wish i could bet on the phone, it would make life easier. |
Block, get a friggin Youbet account, they have phone wagering....I used to go out to Arlington and call in the wagers WHILE I was out there, in the party in the park area....Didn't have to worry about losing a voucher, or getting too hammmered and putting all my money on Shane Laviolette as a joke
|
Okay. Retake then.
TVG has a conservative legal department unwilling to tread in a gray area. Youbet's legal department has looked at the same fact scenario and reached a different conclusion. As a bettor, why would any of this matter to you? If they are taking bets, why not use them? |

I have done this twice, it is like 20% of the reason I hate him so much

Ah ha! Now the truth comes out. What's the other 80% all about? |
Because he is just brutal. He is like 6 foot 4 inches. Laviolette would get Secretariat beat, I guarantee it.
Jim, you watch Illinois racing alot, HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A GOOD RIDE BY THIS FOOL? He is my Gomez.....Honest to god, I cross off ANY HORSE that is riding at Arlington, period, I don't even look at him. I MOVE UP a horse that has Laviolette jumping off. THE ULTIMATE ANGLE |

The first thing I look at when looking at an Arlington program is I go through EVERY horse see who rode him last time, if Shane did and got booted, auto play for me on every ticket I am playing that race, horse could be 54002/1, playing him. If he is in the race, I treat him as he is scratched.
SO BRUTAL. |
