Where You Playing Horses Offshore?

The only place is at the track.

Bookmaker (8% rebate) and Betonline (7% rebate). These Books give a good horse player a fighting chance.

For once I agree with JJ. Once. None of the offshore books really care about horse racing and will screw you at the drop of a hat. Stay aware from betcris/bookmaker. They are crooks in their horse racing department and poorly run. Youbet is the way to go. Less rebates but you can bet up to practically the last second, get paid the actual price, and will never have a bet cancelled because they do not feel like paying.

With horses books can do anything they want

youbet,twinspires,otb,track I wouldn't bet horses offshore to many caps,to early cut off times and most do not offer every wager that is available

I like Bet Jamaica's deal they pay full track odds on win, place, and show, but they do cap you off on exata, tri's, super's, pick 3 and pick 4's. They do give a rebate depending on how much you spend. This year they even gave me a Breeder's Cup bonus which was really nice of them. I usually play win, place or show with them mostly when I am playing horses, so I don't get capped off.

If you're a big-time player, legal U.S. options are aplenty and best way to go. Many options now include rebates/bonus programs as more and more sites get started/expand.

I don't, way too many rules and early cut off tmes to bet and bad payouts. I bet at legal usa shops only.

How about you?

u aint gonna blow the horses are ya?

Unlike sports, Horses are easy to bet with legal USA based OTB
Phonebet/Philadelphia park
Bris net
Tvg
However I have used to Bet Jamaica but only for triple crown races and Breaders cup when my first race "lock of the century" decided not to show up

and wiped out those listed accounts
It was slow but is an option if you need them

Bookmaker is the best right now. High limits, money does not enter the pool, 3% rebate, wide selection of tracks. Pinnacle was the best, but no longer an option for the US.

I went to Bookmaker when Pinnacle left and have been happy. They took away my rebate a couple of months ago, which will eat into my profit to a certain extent.

Nobody else respectable has high limits like them so I will stay there as long as they will let me.

Youbet or Brisbet is not an option in my state. Also, if all my bets hit the pool my odds would be much worse, I think. Not sure if it would work at Youbet.
