Willmot...WEG should just shut up and stop whining. Willmot is trying to defend the indefensible, he has no points and he has no case.<BR/>WEG knows now we have options, they just want to eliminate them instead of what a real business does: compete with them.<BR/>If they got into poker, I have no problem with that. I'd rather have Canadians bet within Canada if it is done at the same rates as offshore.<BR/>Bowman's is still around and I do believe they take Canadians like Betfair does. But there is a rule that is fairly recent. An internet betting shop can't advertise in Canada, because they are not licenced to operate in Canada. It doesn't mean they can't take Canadian clients though.<BR/>Not crazy about Pinnacle, they are bookies and really don't want you to win.<BR/>I prefer exchange betting like Betfair, it is more parimutuel. Betfair doesn't lose sleep if you win.<BR/>The reason we can't bet through Magna, etc is because of collusive deals signed by Woodbine. <BR/>Rebate houses are the best options by far.<BR/>If your jurisdiction permits, Premier Turf Club is an excellent option, but they don't have A tracks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22896617.post-47984066782874028872008-03-11T11:03:00.000-04:002008-03-11T11:03:00.000-04:00Does anyone remember David Wilmot on Prime Time Sp...Does anyone remember David Wilmot on Prime Time Sports with Bob McCown on the Fan590 a couple of years ago? I think what had happend was Woodbine took the Fan590 to court, because they were advertising Bowmans.com sportsbook, a sportsbook that took action on Woodbine races. This was against the law according to Woodbine. In the end the only thing that happend was Bowmans dropped taking action on Woodbine, I think they closed their entire racebook, it was pretty lowsy anyway, low limits, I don't even think they had multi legged exotics. Bob Mccown let it be known that Mr. Wilmot had called up to explain WEG's position, Mr. McCown seemed annoyed by the whole situation. Mr. Wilmot then went on a rant about how he wished Woodbine could compete with online poker sites! It was fantastic! It's like Starbucks making hamburgers. Why the hell would Woodbine want to open a poker site, only Wilmot knows. I used Bowmans.com at the time to place wagers on sports, I made a point of churning all my horse action through HPI, as I believed it was the right thing to do. I even stuck through all those crappy Canadian betting pools on American simulcasting with insane takeouts (30+% across the board). After listening to this idiot (Wilmot) on the Fan spew his nonsense, I never put another dollar though HPI again, I even make bets with pinnacle AT Woodbine using my blackberry. I think Woodbine needs to give a little more credit to it's customers. We're not all brain dead sheeple, we understand that there are options out there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22896617.post-73104262800580549832008-03-08T20:42:00.000-05:002008-03-08T20:42:00.000-05:00Read your blog daily and fully agree with your vie...Read your blog daily and fully agree with your views. <BR/><BR/>By the way, love your response(s) to that "amateur" critic, but you should have hit him harde!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
