The only thing they do not do for whatever reason is support Mac browsers with their platform. Apple laptops are not able to use their software unless you link to them through Firefox which crashes repeatedly during a card.

Youbet does seem to have the best visual of a race and they do offer head-on replays for most major tracks.

I had nothing but problems with their video also, id call and they would tell me they couldn't support all the traffic during their peak times, joke.

it sounds like an awesome offer, but all my bidness has gone to twinspires now a days

they beat them in video, wagering platform, replays, etc. etc. etc.

they're isn't a user fee

they're isn't a fee if you want an additional video to watch tracks..... im seriously surprised youbet still has the market share they do. if you play the major tracks there you get ZERO points for your play, they keep pumping lower tier tracks by offering 3x points, gets kinda old after a while. back in the day all tracks pretty much got equal points

Couldn't agree more. I used to be a Youbet guy, but they wanted to charge me a monthly fee and I hated the free PP's. Switched to Twinspires, no fee, love the PP's and also like the Twinspires TV. Just wish they would let you cancel a bet.

I think if you play more than 300 a month, they waive the fees (thats easy to do). Express Cash is fee free now.

I also like twinspires but I dont like thier platform as much as youbet.

How is Twinspires wagering platform better thay Youbet?

Youbet's wagering platform is light years ahead of any other ADW.

I don't see the difference in video, except the HD tracks seem to be better on Twinspires. I'm not terribly excited about their "TV". Looks flashy, but I can only watch one track at a time. Those little vids at the bottom of the page are too small on my computer to make anything out, so there really isn't much benefit to me other than it is slightly quicker switching tracks.

I also much prefer the visual of the track program at YB.

Not sure where you are going on the replays too. Both sites have them for free.

I've never gotten worked up over the points deals at YB or Twinspires. Couldn't tell you how many I have at either platform. So that is a non factor for me in choosing.

I use both to keep them both active because you never know what the ADWs and tracks are going to do to f up in the future. I will definitely take advantage of the 10% rebate offer and hopefully it will be a success in Youbet's eyes and we'll get more of these in the future.

I wouldn't say that TS is better, I did like Youbet alot, but I don't always play $300 a month so they were charging me to play. I do like the Equibase PP's that are free on TS a lot better that the one's on Youbet. Like you, I don't care about the points, but TS does do things like this 10% bonus once in awhile. If TS would let you cancel a bet, I would be totally happy with them.

you a youbet.com schill or what?

i use them both as well, been a die hard youbet.com guy since back in 2000, but IMO its proudct is inferior to TS. The video, hands down has to go to TS, the TS web TV is amazing (churchill in HD is glorious), as apposed to pop-ups which you usually can't even have up at the same time at youbet.com, not only that, if you want that additional video, oh yeah, you're gonna pay for it whether you like it or not, I think its an additional 7.50 a month or so.... and they charge that fee all the while their competitors offer web tv and 5 videos for free?

wagering is super easy on TS, there's not a pop up for video and wagering, they're all in one, easily located on the side of the page. The only beef i have with that portion is that they don't always have scratches updated.

programs: Youbet has free equibase and TS has brisnet... winner TS

replays: i was under the impression that youbet.com only gave you so many per month (depending upon your membership level). TS doesn't charge, easy to use, good to go.

points: not that i keep a close eye on my TS points, but i know they offer them on EVERY track. Youbet used to be awesome back in the day, you could run through a weekend betting pretty mildly and get 10K+ points, now you look and see what they offer for the 'Togas and Del Mar's and it's pretty close to nothing ( i assume they got taken to the cleaners by some of the bigger players with their point system). Whenever i log on they're using some sort of promo pimping 3X tuesday for like scioto downs, i mean seriously.

contests: they both offer some decent contests

as far as the 10% kickback, its a great idea it is. both of them offer a good product, but when the day is done, you're only paying for one of them........
