Capital OTB accounts.........
 
Looking for some feedback guys and gals about Capital OTB? I sent off for an received an application. I'm way sick and tired of being shut out of certain tracks, when I can't make it out to the OTB! I have an Xpressbet account currently, which has been ok, no real complaints. Just sick of not being able to bet tracks like oh by the way Saratoga, because I don't have a TVG account. Which I couldn't obtain even if I wanted to, (which I don't) but they don't currently accept Florida wagers anyway. More than enough about TVG! So if any of you have Capital OTB accounts, I'd like to hear a little feedback, the good stuff, the bad stuff, anything you all can tell me. I appreciate it folks. Thanks.:)

Set it up so that you get track odds....you will need to maintain a certain min balance....
Have you considered a NYRA Rewards account?...might be worth checking it out thru the links at NYRA.com

Thanks Dave......
 
For the tip, I'm checking it out. Looks good.

The advantage of Cap. OTB is immediate local deposits. Make a deposit in the branch and it's there. With NYRA you need to send a check and wait for float.

If you are in the Capital District you know the availability of the racing you want on TV. Capital is working on an online platform like NYRA's.

I think they have had internal problems, much like NYRA went through because of our wonderful governor. :rolleyes:

I understand that "Rewards" is being brought back.
