Default TVG new graphics

What is wrong with these people ? Do they pay people to mess with things that work ? Makes no sense at all.

You like not having the odds scrolling for upcoming races?

Instead of changing graphics, can they instead figure out a way to add the option to watch race replays in the app?

In terms of wagering, there is no way that anyone should use an ADW that is not directly tied to the funding of racetrack/horsemen's purses (unless some state restriction puts you into that position).

As for the "new graphics", nothing has benefitted the bettor - just another "skin" (as we call it in software user interfaces) on the same data - keeps the Chyron folks employed, I suppose.

If you want to do something for the bettor, how about getting a rotating exacta/double payoff display (right side of screen)? How about showing the Top 20 Trifecta or Pick-3 bets (typically done in Sweden if you have seen those races)? What about showing the "win odds" as lead trifecta or superfecta runners, not just pool totals as typical for a tote system? My point is that for a company that is solely purposed to drive wagering, the lack of understanding of these elements is surprising.

In addition to not being able to see the odds at other tracks, do we really need the "FAV" flag in yellow on the odds board? When it comes to screen space, why not put your odds board anchored to the left side of your output display?
