I have Fanduel and Draftkings.  I wasn't sure that's what he was referring to.  Thank you for the explanation.

I don't have the option (that I'm aware) to see prior results.  At least not on the app.  I'll check the desktop version now.

I found it on the desktop version of Fanduel.

I use DRF and Twinspires and have not figured out all the phone features yet. Much easier for me on the laptop. I only use the phone if at the track and lines start getting slow.

I also use the phone versions to watch selected races while in the office.

I mentioned, my primary ADW, or wagering and betting website is NYRA Bets.  I was grandfathered in and get VIP benefits.  Let's say some people wager thousands a race, I'm more like thousands a week and I'm appreciative I get the same treatment and rewards as those high rollers with myself being likely at the bottom of the VIP scale.

Great promos, and % back on my wagers averaging about 8%, it's nice having a winning week betting $3k and they drop $240 in my account and I make a another hundred or two on promos.  Many a week I don't even make a deposit as rewards and promos subsidize, I just bet, if I win I reinvest, if I win a targeted amount I withdraw. 

My friend Donnie is the marketing director and VIP manager, and of course they are a subsidiary of NYRA.

Since I'm out of Florida I do not have any restrictions, not sure if it still maintains but they had some on NY customers many years ago when I signed up.

What have others said about Blutarsky... (("Get away from me, and stay away from me!!" - Ex Girlfriend)) - (("Creeeeeepy" - Neighbor)) - (("Ughhhh...Jerk off, retard, loser." - Mother)) - (("Cheater, clown, a brown stain on this High School!" - Former Teacher)) - (("There are worst consequences to sex than STDs, abortion > BLUTO!"- Dad)) - (("He liked us probing him way too much, therefore we will not be abducting, he's all yours." - An Extraterrestrial))

I don't bet much so my only perks are free PP's if I bet that card T-bred only, some pathetic boosts and the occasional insurance (pick a horse to win, if it places/shows money back, usually limited to $5 or $10) I don't bet much so suits my needs.

I only joined twinspires since DRF does not take bets on Twinspires owned tracks and I wanted to bet on last years KY derby. Missed out whatever promotion they had at the time, very limited time to bet more than I am used to.

I use Brisnet for the T-Breds and Trackmaster for Harness.

You know what I used to love, the Sports Eye, that was the absolute best for Harness, each horse had so many lines of pps it was the entire history on some, just awesome for stat-trend hounds.  Of course if we're talking print, the DRF is the bible.  Not crazy about the company anymore since they partnered with Stronach (1ST), different corporate culture.  Money now over stats, once great journalism.

I forgot when but sometime in the last few years, I went to purchase a DRF at the track, could not believe the price. Plus I would have needed a magnifying glass or maybe +300 glasses.  I try to buy, or get the free online versions. Depending on the circumstances, I'll print or bring my laptop. If I am working then I'll have two laptops, one for work one for the PPs.

Are the drfs up to $15 yet lmao!  Fore sure absolutely the technology is a must.  At Gulfstream Park they have these kiosks and you can watch replays free not exactly comfortable.

In my younger days it was my pals the fellas at the track.

In later years, the ladies.  I take them to a nice restaurant like the Ten Palms at GPark, have them go nuts on the buffet.  For the first hour I'm having tellers print scratches, I'm getting changes off the screen, then putting my wagers together.  The chick is trying to stick a piece of cheese or shrimp in my mouth and I'm working.  The matre d' was awesome, hot as hell, and I'd slip her 20 and she'd give us a table just before the finish line, and me a big kiss, I was a regular.

Now a days all from home and home alone LOL!  🙂

My mom lives halftime in the middle of nowhere Lakeland. Once my kids got to college I started trying to visit once a year . Being there the whole week was not conductive to my will being. I figured I could spend a few days at Gulfstream and then head to the 55+ paradise. ( yes sarcasm) 

Track was pretty crowded but grandstand seemed empty. I head up there take a seat and immediately someone brings me a bucket of water bottles. I figure this does not make sense, since server spoke no English i head inside and find out I was in owners section. I end up buying the buffet for $50 and get a great table outside. I thought this was during the week, but when I went back last year buffet was only weekend so I missed out. 

I was shocked at person going table to table taking bets. Never seen that before. But with only one person, a few ( I am guessing low tippers) got shut out.
