Why do people wait until the last minute? If you've wagered on the derby in the past, you should be well aware that these sites crash because of the high number of users.

Sheesh. Act like you've been here before, people.

I've actually made most of my wagers, just have one small saver to get in.

Phone bets are locked out too.

I haven't had any trouble in the past 6 years with my OTB phone/net account...our branches are down as well. It hasn't been the last minute as well, more like the last hour +.

what if you want to cover your action as a result of the 9th race?
i've got a lot riding on this and i'm pissed because I can't log on.
of course i played early as possible on my main plays but i didn't think that it was so unreasonable to expect to be able to make a wager with over an hour to post time. i guess my expectations are far to high. yeah it happens every time. WHY?

Now, we FINALLY come to the realization that BEFORE the industry catches up in terms of LOWER PAYOUT and who gets what signal,

they need to catch up in terms of the 'LITTLE' things

like TECHNOLOGY

There were better websites built in 1990
