    Should just play at a ADW like Idabet and save the hassle of playing horses offshore, especially when they cap bets at certain odds.

    I'm a big fan of BI's sportsbook, but their racebook is seriously lacking.

    I have no problem with a book putting a cap on a pick 6,but when you start capping win,place ,show and exactas thats horse shit.

    This would not be a good model to keep valued long-term customers.

    I was told a few months back that they would be revamping their Racebook in the New Year as well....as of right now, they have one of the worst Racebook's out there.
