NYRA pulls signal from FanDuel as contract negotiations stall

Really fâ€"â€"g nice.

They\'re on Fox Sports and the coverage is better than FanDuel.

TVG was my betting platform. What do you use?

[TGJB]

We expect to have some related news for you guys very soon.

I use my regional OTB, but I can bet on one platform & watch from a different source.  My TV viewing doesn\'t need to be tied to the place I\'m betting from.

Does anyone have an update about the NYRA TVG situation? Can anyone recommend another platform?

[Kasept]

They continue to negotiate and the sticking point is in a very specific area of the contract, so it feels like they\'ll get to agreeing before Saratoga opens Thursday.

As discussed this week, in terms of an alternate ADW, if you have any stakeholder ties to New York at all, you should be betting with NYRA Bets which returns the largest percentage of wagers to purses and capital improvement. Otherwise, TwinSpires and AmWager are very good alternatives.

My advice would be to look at which ADW\'s are available in your state, and then find the one whose promotions/rewards fit your style of play the best.  I\'m a small player, so I like the cash-back-for-2d-or-3d promotions, but that wouldn\'t appeal to those whose bet size is larger than mine.  If you play a lot of NYRA races, NYRA Bets has the most promotions for those races.  If you play a lot of multi-race exotics, many ADW\'s feature hit-and-split promotions.  And, of course, if your play is large enough, then rebates enter the picture.

DRF Bets is an odd duck, because it cannot take bets on CDI tracks, but I like the bet pad that has projected odds and recent Beyers.

Any idea how much of the NYRA handle is processed through TVG?

Andy Serling said an agreement has been reached on Talking Horses.

It’s a miracle
