online wagering
Most of my wagers are made online using Youbet and i watch the races on TVG, mainly because i live in Tennessee and am not close to any tracks. I am close to Kentucky Downs which simulcasts but that is without a doubt the worse run place i have ever encountered and i would just as soon miss out on a win as to go there. I actually like the Youbet format a lot because you see so much information on the screen at any one time, i tried the TwinSpires one as well but i didn't care for it at all so i cancelled it very quickly.
All that being said, i bet online out of necessity and i do enjoy it but the experience of online wagering is not one tenth as satisfying to me as going to the track to watch them live. One downside of wagering online is that my average wager per race is a lot higher online than it would be at the track because you don't have the same feeling of pain as you do when you fork over the cash each time - thats good i guess if you win but like most people, i lose more often than i win so my budget takes a hit every now and then! lol
