    Looking for a good racebook
    Ever since Pinny stopped offering horses, I've been looking to find a decent racebook. Woodbine just started up again this weekend, so I've got the itch to play some ponies. Since I'm in Ontario, I can't play at any of the US based racebooks, so that's out of the question.

    I'm also out of the so called "market" of horseplayerinteractive, the Woodbine based racebook, because I don't live in the Toronto area, so that's also out of the question

    So I'm forced to look offshore, and I don't like the payout limits of some of these places. But maybe someone can point me in the right direction.

      With 5Dimes offering 10% extra on all win wagers I think its currently the best bet. For tracks on their 'Major Track' list the only limit is a cap of a max of $30k per race. They consider Woodbine a minor track unfortunately (it is also the track I primarily bet) but the limits are still quite good compared to the competition. http://www.5dimes.com/RacebookFrame.htm

                    Thanks for the input guys... 5dimes is not a bad option, but they still limit you a bit on some tracks with regards to exotics. Was checking out bookmaker though, they seem to have a decent race book, and I don't see any mention of limits on exotics. This is very important because the way I bet, I take 2 horses and exacta box them with every other horse in the race. i.e. 1/all, all/1, 2/all, all/2. I made $300 on Derby day doing this (8th and 9th race exactas hit for me) I'm killing myself because on the actual Derby I took Friesan Fire, and was going to take Pioneer of the Nile as my 2nd horse, but at the last minute I ended up taking dunkirk. I would have cashed a $2,000 ticket had I taken Pioneer of the Nile. So that's why it's very important that I don't have any limits on exoctics.

                    Any one with experience using bookmakers racebook would be helpful
