ADW-Turf Paradise-Az

Even though their website says there will phone wagering by opening day Next Saturday, nobody seems to know about!! Called Xpress they said that is the first they heard of it, being available by then. That's what happens when you have a cheesy race track. Come on T.P. get your $hit together and pay someone to update your website with real time info!!

This DRF article from August at the time didn't make it sound like it would be. Plus why would they wait until opening day to start and get people signed up, unless it's going to be where you have to go the track, make a deposit and then call into the track to make a bet? But you would think there would be some instructions on how to sign up?

A little surprised they do not have this up and running before opening day, its going to take people time to set up accounts, deposit, etc etc, learn the process of calling in bets, etc.

I highly doubt this is set up through Turf Paradise, there is no way they are going to be able to set up a sophisticated website to handle all the tracks in the country, which would require a round the clock staff to handle phone calls. Its going to run through the larger ADW's.

edit: thought I had read that article...........clearly this is months away. Of course the site says it will be ready for opening day, they want people to continue checking it.
