i've used up the $100 free bonus for me and mrs milwaukee already

but how can you NOT take a free $100?

**Easy-Rider 66** · 05-07-12, 03:37 PM

Wish I could post up at TwinSpires. My state Gov't will not allow me.

**PickWinnerAllDay** · 05-07-12, 03:38 PM

Tennessee is not allowed?

**Hawkeye2011** · 05-07-12, 03:43 PM

How do you get the free $100?

**Easy-Rider 66** · 05-07-12, 03:48 PM

It says on their site to sign up and you get a $100 bonus. Might have to bet a certain amount to get it all- not sure.

**wtt0315** · 05-07-12, 04:20 PM

idabet gives you 300.. great site. Not all the tracks but they keep adding them and the rebate is good and added next day

Love twinspires. I hosted a derby party and hooked a computer up to the TV and we had the live feed from Churchill on all day. It's not hi-def by any means, but it's nice having a live tote board right in your living room. We had NBC's coverage playing on a larger TV right next to it. I let the guys bet through my account and we all just settled up at the end. After getting signed up with them, I never set foot in an off track betting again. Its just like betting at the track..your account is credited minutes after each race and they take nothing out of your winnings. There's no surcharge to deposit or withdrawal. This is how I bet all year. Just about any track is available. With the $100 bonus, you have to wager $500 within 30 days I believe. This was at least the terms well over a year ago when I joined. As soon as you bet the $500, your account is credited the next day.

Totally worth it IMO. You don't even have to have funds in your account to watch the live races. It's like having your personal OTB right in your own home.

I had issues with the site on Derby day... Could not bring up the bets I made or make a wager 30 minutes before the Derby.

They have some glitch every year on Derby day.

**gafl** · 05-08-12, 08:22 AM

Twinspires did lag on Derby Day. That said, I was able to wager on the Derby as they started loading. Video was not up to standard.

**jjgold** · 05-08-12, 08:27 AM

Most places lag on Derby day

Bad day to judge

**gafl** · 05-08-12, 08:35 AM

You're right, but OP did ask about Derby Day. Twinspires is the best site for USA horse betting.

**Hawkeye2011** · 05-08-12, 09:05 AM

Thanks guys.....I put $25 on last night and proceeded to lose it in 5 bets. I know nothing about horse racing betting

**gafl** · 05-08-12, 09:27 AM

Hawkeye, if you're just starting out, try concentrating on one circuit or one track. Makes it easier to learn trainer and jockey tendencies, and the differences in the tracks themselves.

For video yes but with no rebate you have to be crazy to bet there.

**jjgold** · 05-08-12, 11:29 AM

Some European places not bad but Americans not allowed

**trytrytry** · 05-08-12, 02:08 PM

**freeVICK** · 05-08-12, 02:08 PM

Came here thinking this was a new porn site. Leaving very disappointed

Sure if you want the lowest rebate in the industry, it's so low I wouldn't even call it a rebate.

Thanks for the tip.....I sure could use a few of them

**TonyP** · 05-08-12, 03:44 PM

do not wager with a book they have to many caps

**jjgold** · 05-08-12, 04:48 PM

Offshore Horse wagering is not the way to go
Caps, early cut off times

Only bet with books that are legal and hooked into usa totes

Too bad some states do not allow legal horse wagering forcing some of us to go offshore.

**thechaoz** · 05-08-12, 05:59 PM

Horses..... And they're off!

**jjgold** · 05-08-12, 08:49 PM

So many laws with usa racing and state restrictions
Every site is different
NJ is one of states banned everywhere unless you use their local one

Any serious horse player wouldn't live in a Commie state where they can't place a wager. Especially a state bordering Kentucky.

**GOIRISH** · 05-09-12, 12:58 AM

Anyone know which states aren't allowed to play there?

That is cool, I was told a few places with similar offers it's only good win bets. Good to know.

**Jesus Christ** · 05-09-12, 01:31 AM

Used em to bet the Derby..won....requested a check on Sunday got there on Tuesday...very very solid.

According to Keeneland Select- a horse wagering site you can not join up if a resident of these states- Washington, Virginia, Alaska, California, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Maine, Misssouri, Nebraska, New jersey, New Mexico, north carolina, south carolina, texas, Utah. Of course some of these states have other ways to legally bet the horses and some basically have a state lottery and that's it.

That is strange because I just checked the Keeneland Select website again and they do not have Texas listed as one of the states that you can wager from.
