You can bet on almost everywhere including Great Britan (everyday) and Dubai and Longchamps on DWC and Arc days.<BR/><BR/>The selection of tracks is quite extensive with very few exceptions that I can think of. They do not show the signal from NYRA but you can bet NYRA, so I bet with them and watch on Youbet.<BR/><BR/>Online betting is totaly free, there is a charge of $1.50 daily for phone wagers but I never use the phone anymore. <BR/><BR/>As for my funding mechanism, I started the weekly funding back in the days when I was bad handicapper, now that I am a good handicapper the funding mechanism is not really necessary but I think of it as a security blanket, just in case someday I go berserk and start boxing Alan's selections in $10 exactas . . . I'd go broake pretty fast . . .

A couple of questions:<BR/><BR/>1. It's called Phonebet, but you can actually do everything completely online, right? <BR/><BR/>2. Minimum initial deposit is $25; are there any monthly fees? I know they aren't providing pp's or online video (other than the video of Philly Park already available online), but just wanted to be sure I didn't have to make a minimum $$ of bets per month, etc.<BR/><BR/>3. What tracks can you wager on? I couldn't find anywhere on the site a complete list of available sites.<BR/><BR/>4. How do they pay you? Do they send a check or direct deposit?<BR/><BR/>Sound pretty simple and straight forward...<BR/><BR/>And I won't comment on why you have to fund it every week rather than the other way around :)Valerie Grashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02696887655473752690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1354333762076619269.post-87407178631612858322007-08-19T13:00:00.000-04:002007-08-19T13:00:00.000-04:00Damn, the url got cut off for the photo... click h...Damn, the url got cut off for the photo... <A HREF="http://flickr.com/photos/rockandracehorses/1166976018/" REL="nofollow">click here to view it</A>.danahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10108031874575905943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1354333762076619269.post-43816860471418163142007-08-19T12:58:00.000-04:002007-08-19T12:58:00.000-04:00I agree...

I also thought both Lear's Princess & Octave were impressive.<BR/><BR/>Check out this photo:<BR/>http://flickr.com/photos/rockandracehorses/1166976018/<BR/><BR/>I've gone against Rutherienne twice now (didn't see yesterday's race) and both times I've been wrong wrong wrong. She's really incredible and that deadheat race with Bit of Whimsy was fantastic!<BR/><BR/>I was happy to see Ravel on the work tab too! I noticed Grapelli was back as well. I'm waiting and wondering about Belgravia too, no word on him.danahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10108031874575905943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1354333762076619269.post-28215283825773843932007-08-19T07:17:00.000-04:002007-08-19T07:17:00.000-04:00Hey ValarieAs a fellow PA resident I can recommend...Hey Valarie<BR/><BR/>As a fellow PA resident I can recommend Philadelphia Park's Phonebet online wagering system which is available to all PA residents as I recall. While it is primitive in appearance I have used it since its inception quite a few years ago. I fund it every week through my online banking account and I never have to make a trip to the track unless I want to.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03874325506841146077noreply@blogger.com
