SBR Racebook is now LIVE!

[SBR Lou]

Its a very good idea actually ... I understand its not convenient .. but if you are serious about making money - you should not post your bet until the last possible second - what if your horse breaks through the gate .. then they stick him back in again ? I wouldn't put YOUR money on an odds on favorite that breaks the gate before the "off" I understand where you are coming from .. however if the system can understand when a bet is placed after the advertised start time ... why can't the system reject that bet instead of accepting it .. and then voiding it at a later time ... ? Would just lead to less overall frustration .... not a criticism .. just a suggestion ... not even sure if the software has this capability ... I don't remember a bet of mine ever being accepted and then marked void when i played at bodog ... seems to happen about half the time here .... Its my own fault - I just have to learn to change the way I play when placing wagers here at SBR ... old dog .. new tricks and all that ...

or simply reject bets that are posted after advertised start times .... its the fact that the bets are accepted and then later voided that is the problem ... if I don't get a bet accepted because the software says its too late - I don't mind so much - I just kick myself for not getting in early enough ... If my bet is accepted and later voided (win or lose) ... now i'm annoyed.

Some sharp posts here. There is actually a function that would take bets off board X minutes prior to post to prevent some of the time discrepancies but according to our software provider (DGS), this is not functional at the moment.

We're definitely taking all feedback into account, it will take a little time to modify the software as it is not open source and not ours, for now the best strategy is to leave a few minutes cushion in your bets to ensure you get down your A plays, and roll the dice on some smaller plays ~1 minute out.

Cheers Lou

Hopefully they can get the feature enabled and live one day soon.

[jjgold]

It needs to be tweaked, this racebook could be very good and we do not want to turn people off to it with minor glitches.

[jetsjets1028]

i notice race 13 at palm beach and race 1 at santa anita are taking while to updatethe results on here..

[TonyP]

we should be able to cancell a wager. If a horse on my ticket gets a late scratch then I do not want the original wager I should be able to cancell.

[jetsjets1028]

how come windsors 13th race isnt paying out?

[RichardMoss]

It is, look again jets.

[BGboothA]

yeah there are some random races that seem to take forever to pay out. Not sure why, but be patient and they will pay.

i see the meadows is slow grading as well....hit the tri and supers for a pt each in the final which went official 30 minutes ago. seems to me they clear the lost bets prety darn quickly though.

[cecil127]

id also like to mention that when using the "exacta box" option there should be 2 boxes for each runner(1st & 2nd place). example: when wanting to place an exacta box 6 over the 124 box-that means i want the 6 over the 1/2/4 AND the 1/2/4 over the 6. as its set up now i must place an exacta 6 over the 1/2/4 then go back and place another exacta 1/2/4 over the 6. seems like an easy fix

Bets that are past posted are canceled. Yesterday we had about 8 tickets out of the dozens placed that were after the post time and were voided.

Please refer to the Racebook rules page, or the top of the actual racebook when submitting your wagering ticket where the subject is broached in greater detail.

That is not called an exacta box

If you want the 6 over the 124 you click the exacta tab which has 2 boxes.

The 6 goes in the first box and your 124 in the 2nd box.

[cecil127]

what i wanted was an exacta 6 with 1/2/4 AND(follow closely here cause this is what makes it a "box") 1/2/4 over the 6. if i walk up to a ticket writer window and say "toots, i want a dollar exacta box 6 over the one two three" guess how much that ticket cost? 6 bucks. end of story. stick to poker bud.
as for my tri and super at the meadows: of course they were voided as i placed them too close to post time while a few races earlier bets that were posted at post time (that incidently DIDNT win) were taken happily by the book.....such BS.

[robmpink]

How is it that all books that use dgs software don't have the "glitches" you do when it comes to betting a race that goes off after the listed post time?

It is amazing this works smooth for books but not for you.

There is no such thing as a box like what you are saying.

Hit the exacta tab idiot and you can bet that way

More ****ing idiots on this forum .

That is called an exacta wheel not a box

You are the idiot bud .

[cecil127]

been placing that bet for 15 years...you are dismissed, ding-dong.
not to mention 2 of the racebooks i use have this option as i listed with the 2 boxes per horse. place a 6 in the first spot, then the 124 in the second box then hit the magical "box" icon at the bottom and magicalliy it becomes a 6 dollar bet.

An exacta wheel and an exacta box are 2 different things.

Get a life and go bet real money not your points

[cecil127]

i expected as much from you...of course you're right and the website ive bet with for 15 years is wrong, eh? i match my bets on my philly park account so im not sure you should be rofl but whatever makes you feel good. id offer that link to their system which (also) backs up what im saying(funny, you offer no proof but got a lot to say-phuckstick) but i believe you need to have an account to get that far...
*please show me an online wagering system that uses the term "wheel"

I'm not saying wither one of you are correct. You both are.

Offshore, you don't see wheel. At the track, the live betting clerks like that term.

[pokernut9999]

All you have to do is click the exacta tab right above the exacta box tab and you have the way to bet your way.

But with all your 15 years you should already know this.

Correct , you click exacta instead of exacta box.

ok, i realize this may be over your head(it wouldnt be a stretch thats for sure) but lets just say i like 1 and i think the 2, 3 or 4 may come in 2nd. realizing the 1 is strong but the 2,3 or 4 may get the pocket trip and nose out the 1 at the wire(cause theres no way the 1 horse doesnt come in 1st or 2nd, right?) i also "box" the 1 over the 2/3/4 to ensure that if the 2/3/4 do in fact beat the 1 im covered. is that easy enough for you to comprehend-if not i give the phuck up cause you are some dumb ass sob thinking i can get that wager by simply hitting the "exacta" tab or the "exacta box"(because it only gives you 1 box per runner) tab for that matter neither are covering that bet. is any experienced pony player smellin me on this one or am i the only one who makes this play i must be a genius
i must place 2 seperate bets(as 2 seperate exactas: 1 over 2/3/4 and another 2/3/4 over the 1) in the sbr racebook whereas ive never ever had to do it seperately at any of the 3 racebooks i frequent.

these are track sanctioned, pari-mutual pool, legal in PA, Uncle Sam knows (filed out the IRS paper work and all) wagering sites...not one offshore of the 3.

You are the dumb son of a bitch that is complaining about having to click twice to bet your free points

You sound like a real pro to me

[cecil127]

dude, i was politely asked to report the good and the bad. and actually there sizzle chest its 9 additional clicks. just trying to make it easier for everyone and keeping the racebook up to speed so to speak.
take the 4 over the 1/7 ex BOX in the twighlight at the yonk.
ill be waiting for your tip, pro

[13th Inning]

I've always called those a "key box". As in you're keying one horse in the box.

Example: "Gimme a $2 exacta key box, 6 with 1,2,3."
That gives you $2 exactas: 6-1, 6-2, 6-3, 1-6, 2-6, 3-6.
$12 total.

I've called it that way to live tellers at the window; some online sites let you do it that way, some don't.

[cecil127]

ah well, the 1 and 4 were leading until the last strides when the 3 and 2 came from either side. 3-2-4-1.
i think i made my point though. hopefully asshole head is on the wrong side of a flop somewhere. im sweating this av's and the over parlay but just cashed on the wv -6.5 with okl +13.5
i may need to slow down.

Hi rob,

Of the dozens of tracks and races offered yesterday, only six had bets which were past the post time and voided. It's not uncommon for a real sportsbook to encounter the same based on the feed provided.

[SBR Lou]

Lou Freehold canceled the whole card 2 days ago my bets are still in imbo can some one refund please?

Konck,

I've credited you the points plus five extra, sorry for the delay.

[sq764]

Konck, I've credited you the points plus five extra, sorry for the delay.

Yeah I bet a pick 3 at Beulah and the 5 scratched in race 3 and it never credited it back... No big deal only 2 points, just pointing out this is probably a flaw down the road

server time problems....

if server have minutes before the current time, never you will found a past posted bet, the feed is in charge to close the race, i think feed is 100% working fine, i watch races online, and i found 15 or 20 seconds races closes before start on my pc, i think that is the delay for internet video.
