XpressBet or TwinSpires

Anyone use either of these two sites for betting or anything else. I was debating on joining one of them and was wondering which was the better of the two. I am a newcomer and dont have a lot of money to drop down on one site, if that helps

I haven't used either, I just use my Betjamaica site to make some wagers or hit the local OTB. If you are a first timer to BJ, they have some pretty good incentives for your first deposit. They also have a discount on across the board wagers.....meaning if you wager 2wps ($6) they actually only charge you $5 something for the wager. Good Luck

Ill have to check them out. I was looking for the live video casts and what not also but forgot to mention that. But the ATB deal seems pretty decent. Thanks

Check the payouts for Bet Jam I believe there is a cap on what they will pay out. Also if TVG is an option might be worth checking out can watch the races on TV or computer

Ya I think on Twin and xpress you can watch the races

I would also look into Youbet. I know I have delivered checks from them on a few occassions so they have to be good with payouts. And yes I did read about Magna's bankruptcy too

Just seen a link for youbet today

yea magna claimed bankruptcy so I would take any funds you have out of xpress if you got em.....wonder how this is gonna effect Santa Anita?

I use Twin Spires. It is much better than BetJam in my opinion. BetJam has a limit on exotic wagers of $300 per $1 bet. Twin Spires pays full payouts and offers better exotic wagers than BetJam. Plus you can place your bet pretty much right up until post, whereas BetJam has to be in about 3-4 minutes before post. You can also watch video of races at TS. Only negative with TS is some tracks are only available thru phone in bets, not many but a couple...

That's solid!

I have heard good things about twinspires, so I will probably end up going through them. They sound pretty legit. I was just worried about givin the SS# to anyone
