Off-track betting outlet offers conditional wagering

Posted: Wednesday, July 25, 2007 1:21 PM

Advance deposit wagering site Premier Turf Club is offering its players a chance to play the odds without constantly scanning the tote board.

Thanks to new software, the outlet’s Internet site www.premierturfclub.com allows players to not only select horses they like but also set minimum odds at which they would play that horse. At 45 seconds before post time, the program will query the tote and if the win odds for a player’s selected horse meet the minimum odds selected, the bet is submitted.

“This feature will revolutionize the way the game is played,” said Premier Turf Club Chief Executive Officer Ian Meyers. “Never again will you be forced to accept an underlay price on a horse or dog bet down dramatically from the morning line on bets you sent in hours before the race goes off.”

For instance, a player could select a given horse and assign odds of 5-to-1. If at 45 seconds until post time the horse is 4-to-1, the wager will not be entered. If at that time the horse is 6-to-1, the bet will be submitted. Premier Turf Club believes the feature will allow players to punch through all of their conditional bets early in the day and not be forced to spend hours watching for odds changes.

“You’ll never have to wait around again for a specific race to ensure you get a fair price on a runner you want to back,” Meyers said. “This will end the cries of, ‘If I knew that 6-to-1 morning line horse was going to pay $30, I would have played him.”

Meyers said the Fargo, North Dakota-based outlet will continue to offer innovative options for its players.

“It’s just another example of how we plan on offering the most cutting edge wagering innovations to as wide a customer base as possible,” Meyers said.
