I can process information available to me about 3 times faster using Youbet (from a click and open window standpoint) then I can with other sites. With Youbet it is all layered information, with the others you have to open new windows or change the whole f'n screen
When you bet with Xpressbet you are betting with Magna. They joined together with Churchhill and formed Tracknet. This parnership gives them leverage when they negotiate with ADW's and other race tracks. Churchill will start their own wagering platform which they've named Twin Spires.

This whole situation is the big tracks getting more money for their product. Steve Crist has been writting about this for years and the tracks are finally coming to their senses. In turn people who wager through Youbet, or AmericaTab,or TVG will be left to choose other alternatives if the wish to wager on non TVG exclusive tracks.
