Fast brought up a good point do you all prefer to play the races at home or elsewhere.I prefer the OTB because all of the screens are in front of you and it's easier to follow the races that way. Shoeless

I play mostly from home, just for convenience sake, but I confess I haven't taken the offshore plunge in search of rebates yet. The more I think about it, the dumber I feel for not taking advantage of this 'free money'.

Could some of you who are already playing the rebate game share some of your experiences, both upside and down.

I've heard generally good things about Pinnacle, largely through the users at Pace Advantage. Does anyone have opinions, good or bad, about them and other offshore sites?

Dick,

I do not use rebates either preferring the ride to the track.

Well it is time to change.

Gas approaching 3 bucks a gallon here in NY, tolls going up etc.

Alydar has been barking at me for months if not years to join Pinnacle and get the 7 %. Me being a stubborn Italiano ( capetosta??) he laughs at all the money I am leaving on the table.

I hope he sees your thread and jumps in as he has much experience with the rebate shops Dick.

I will be joining up very soon. last 4 weeks going to the races 8 times total has cost me 123 dollars in gas and toll expenses.

When I do play, it's from my room behind my computer via 4NJBETS.com. I sure don't miss the 35-40 minute ride from my home in central Jersey to Freehold Raceway for simulcast action and the equally long ride back (sometimes longer if I had a "bad day" at the track). Ditto for the cigar and cigarette smoke, and the screamin', cursin', obnoxious "crowd."

Needless to say, with the price of fuel at an all-time high, the decision to invest from home is a no-brainer for me.

The only thing that I don't have (and miss) are the live feeds from the simulcast monitors. Wagering on races without actually seeing how they're running (track bias, etc.) is just not the same. And that (for now) really sucks.
