    Idabet

    Seems like a solid operation. Have all the track except Churchill owner track. Got $100 after you bet $100 using promo PA100. You don't have to deposit $100, rather bet $100, sans show bets. WTTF made me interested in them.

    No Calif. as usual. This state is so
    screwed up when it comes to racing,
    no not only racing, the whole enchilada.

    Besides TwinSpires and Xpressbet this place is my 3rd fav ADW to play at.

    They give you nice little perks but they do try to ram there home tracks there in Idaho down your throat a bit too much.

    All in all a good and safe place to wager at.

    This place has a referral bonus where both the player and the person who referred you both get $50 once the player plays another $200 after your original bonus. They put it in yesterday about 4 minutes before post of Race 2 at Saratoga. Good timing.

    I hit the p4 for 50 cents. It paid about $333.

    This site is on my list of sites to try. I've been trying a bunch of us based sites to get their initial bonus, and see which ones really have the best rebates. I wish I started sooner. I've wagered over 30k this year at twinspires and got back hardly any bonus (less than 100), because I didn't shop around enough. The sites I'm using now I'm averaging over 5% back. That's more than $1500 in rebates I should have collected this year if I was smarter about maximizing my rebates. Aside from their initial bonus how are their rebates at idabet. Their site just says they have a good program but doesn't give any details. Can you tell me about how much % rebate you've been averaging back on your bets, and what your mix of bets are exoctics vs WPS.

    I like it. It is very user friendly. When I first joined I wagered $100, then received $100. Then after that I had wagered $300 and received $75. I came out $300 plus after all that was done. They give small rewards here and there to but when you first open the account is when you get the biggest bonuses. They are very responsive to questions too.

    I do plan on trying idabet. If you guys are interested in a site with good rebates not just initial bonus, I would recommend horseplayersbet.com. Like I said I've been shopping around and they fit me the best, and are great if you play a lot of exotcis. Not a great initial bonus ($40 after first $80 wagered), but their daily rebates are the best if you play exotics. I've been averaging about 6% back from them, which makes a big difference. Rebates are much better on exotic bets, They give 9% on trifectas at NYRA tracks like Saratoga. And 10% on tris at tracks like delaware and charlestown. I play alot of tris so that adds up. Drawbacks are that they pay considerably less on WPS like 3-4% on Delaware, charlestown and only .5% on NYRA tracks, but still not bad, don't have good rebates on many California tracks and MAGNA tracks, but I don't play those that much anyway, and don't cary the CDI tracks (Churchill, Calder, Arlington) but they have almost all others. Another good one I found is dayatthetrack.com that has a great 200 on 200 initial bonus and then are giving me 5% rebate on all bets (although its not posted anywhere on their site). The only problem with that site though is they are very limited with the tracks they offer. If you like playing the smaller tracks and don't play a lot of exotics that may be a good one to consider. Just passing on what I found by trying out different sites.



    Since I started maximizing my rebates/bonuses it has actually made the difference of me winning now instead of losing before.

    It varies each day. I rarely bet W/P/S usually exacta, tri's and P4's. I played about $960 yesterday and got back $78 today.

    So you got both the $100 and also $75?

    Its probably a law that if you live within a certain distance from a track you cant open a account.. I cant use Xpressbet because i live too close to tracks in PA.

    I will be in there next month as I got the 3k in last night. Do they give other cash bonuses with the gold club? I got lucky yesterday on my last round of bets and hit the saratoga late p4. I played it for 50 cents and had it 6 1/2 times. The most expensive ticket was 36 with coverage and the least, 2 or 3. I got back about 620ish, which put me back in the game.
