    Any Books offering Breeders Cup specials?

    Surprised I can't find Books offering special BC deposit bonuses, rebate on action placed, or an extra 10% or so on winning bets. It's the Super Bowl of horse racing Friday and Saturday and Books could care less, or so it seems.

    5dimes offers their standard 10% extra on horse bets but they're obviously not great for deposit bonuses.

    Agree, books tend to shrug off BC, probably because they view horses as a long term proposition and hard to win big short term for them.

    Guess they don't realize horse players are amongst the most degenerate players out there (or mabeye they do).

    If gambling were a drug, football would be cocaine, horses would be heroin. Long term addicts abound in the field and will spend their last 2 bucks for a fix.

    Every November I overdose on the Breeders Cup races, even though I know horse wagering is horribly -EV. Bookmaker/DSI have an 8% rebate which helps a little. Looks like that's the best option out there for top rated Books.

    HH...have you tried betzotic? I think they offer a $150 bonus after you've wagered $150 and after you've receive the bonus, there is no rollover. I think they are very similar to twinspires
