Xpressbet web site overwhelmed

[Rick B.]

Just want to issue a general warning to those of you that use Xpressbet -- don\'t count on being able to get any bets in via web anytime soon.

Hard just to sign on...took me 8 minutes to get one simple WP bet in at Keeneland.

Pretty obvious that they can\'t handle the load from the Rainbow Pick 6; I wonder what Derby or BC betting will be like?

Disappointing that a major ADW can\'t do adequate capacity planning -- they knew damn well that this mandatory payout was coming.

[sighthound]

I used to use YouBet, sold out to Twin Spires, which is terrible.  I closed that account and went back to Xpressbet.

Just read Keeneland is going to their own ADW platform, using Twin Spires.  I don\'t see how Keeneland will tolerate that lack of customer service and terrible computer program.

Well, I guess I should publicly thank Xpressbet!

They made me so mad with their server problems today that I balked at putting in a slightly sluggish $600 play (4 x 5 x 2 x 5 x 6 x 5)...right after I tossed the stinkin\' #5 horse that would have ended up nostrilizing me out of a $3200 score.

Thanks, horrid server capacity planners at Xpressbet! You saved me 6 Benjamins!
