New Telephone Deposit System - August 9, 2006
For your convenience and
added security we started a new process for cash advance
deposits over the telephone. Beginning August 9 you may be
asked to provide additional information the first time you
request to make a credit card deposit over the telephone.
This new process will provide more protection against
fraudulent use of your credit card and help us serve you
better as we process more deposits. Initially, there may be
temporary delays as we will request additional information
on your first deposit.
We ask for your patience
and ask that you plan your deposits further in advance on
busy race days while we transition into this new system.
Credit card fees for cash advance deposits will remain the
same.
For the first deposit using
a new card please be prepared to provide the number from a
government issued ID such as your driver's license number.
The verification number on the back of your credit card will
be requested for each deposit. As always, EZmoney is free
and a recommended option for depositing funds into your
account.
Grand Slam Wager Now Offered - August 9, 2006
The Grand Slam wager
offered by NYRA is now available on-line and through the
telephone wagering line. We are the first online wagering
service to offer this unique wager. The popular $2 minimum
wager is covers four consecutive races.
In this example the Grand
Slam requires your selection to finish first, second or
third in races 6, 7, and 8, then your selection in the 9th
race must win. If you played three horses in each of the
first three legs of this wager with one horse in race 9, the
cost would be $54 (3 x 3 x 3 x 1= 27 possible combinations x
$2 = $54). This means your wager could win up to 27 times
(maximum number of winning combinations unless there is a
dead-heat involved). You may also bet a $1 minimum Grand
Slam which pays half of the $2 payoff. The $2 payoff is
posted with race 8 results. According to NYRA, the average
$2 Grand Slam payoff at the recently concluded Belmont meet
was $75.46. Select Grand Slam as the wager type, typically
in race 5 or 6, to start your bet.
New Wagering Screen Benefits
Multi-Leg Bets - July 17, 2006
A new wagering screen was
introduced July 17. On the track selection page you have the
option to select the old interface. Besides a new colorful
interface, you will see improvements in selecting horses for
exotic wagers and calculations for the amount of the ticket as
runners are added.
You now have an option to see all
the legs. When selecting All Positions you build your
ticket and watch the display on the lower right as it shows you
horse numbers and the amount of the ticket. By adding or
reducing the number of horses you have a good idea of the total
ticket cost.
There is an option to select a
classic view for selecting multi-leg wagers by keying and/or
boxing those runners. Just select the leg and make your
selections to the right.
Click here for more information and screen shots on
the new wagering screen.
Upgrade to
IVR System
- April 17, 2006
Look for new menu selections in the Interactive Voice Response (IVR)
system used by the telephone wagering system. Added to the system are
new selections for current odds, results, and scratches accessible
through the main menu of the members area. The process remains the same
for logging in but you will then be greeted with an enhanced selection
with an option for the main menu. The new greeting will be "What's the
track and race number, or say main menu for more options."
IVR Upgrade and Track Codes.
Choose
Your Amount to Wager
- May 19, 2005
You can now enter whole dollar amounts of your choice as a new
feature in the wagering process. Select your track and race, then
select "other" as the last selection in the wagering amount
drop-down. A window will pop up to enter an amount. Enter the
desired base amount for this wager, in whole dollars up to a maximum
of $2,500. There are certain amounts restricted by the tote wagering
system and listed in the window.
Wagering on the 10-cent Superfecta - A growing list of
tracks are offering dime superfectas. This wager was popularized at
Sam Houston, Hawthorne, Keeneland and Lone Star this year. There are
many other tracks offering this low-cost wager including Ellis Park,
Del Mar, Retama Park, Indiana Downs, Delta Downs, River Downs,
Thistledown, Arlington Park, Remington, Monticello Raceway, and
Delaware Park.
On the wagering menu, under "Amount", select "Other". On the pop-up
screen, you can enter amounts from 10 cents through 90 cents or
whole dollar amounts. Select the superfecta as your wager and the
amount also populates with the proper dime increments. A 10-cent
superfecta box with four horses costs only $2.40. A five-horse box
costs a total of $12, a six-horse box costs $36.
Dime wagering was introduced in the United States when Hinsdale
Greyhound Park in New Hampshire implemented the wager the summer of
2004.
Sam Houston Race Park in Houston became the first Thoroughbred
facility to follow suit on February 17, 2005. AmericaTab implemented
the wagering process on the first introduction at Sam Houston making
it the first online service to offer amounts less than $1.00.
Restrictions on 10% Bonus Wagers -
January 7, 2005
On certain races or racecards, AmericaTab offers a bonus,
typically 10 percent, on any wagers made on that race or racecard.
Please note that this bonus applies only to the wagered
amounts (win or lost) and does not apply to payouts
on that race or racecard. Bonus
money will be deposited into accounts the following day unless
otherwise noted in the promotion. Place and
show wagers paying $2.20 or $2.10 causing minus pools are excluded
from the bonus offer. Account adjustments that result in less than
$1.00 are also excluded from this offer.
For
Users of Norton Internet Security - October 15, 2004
The Norton Internet Security product may block access to this
website or the americatab.com website where wagers are placed. The
problem occurs when installing Windows XP SP2 after Norton Internet
Security is installed. We are working with the Symantec Corporation
to find a solution to this error in their software.
Currently, even if you remove the sites from the banned list in
Norton Internet Security, the software may still block access to the
sites. If you have Windows XP SP2 installed we recommend that you
uninstall the Norton Internet Security program through the control
panel, remove programs. Then reinstall the Internet Security
program. This process should allow you to remove americatab.com from
the list of banned sites.
New

- or $600 wagered
during the previous 90 calendar days.
- or $5,000

ProfitLine odds are based on an exhaustive analysis of numerous
handicapping factors. Speed, class, pace, form, weight, distance,
pedigree, trainer, jockey, recency and many more factors of each
horse's past performances are evaluated using some of today's most
powerful statistical tools and techniques. The end result is an
amazingly accurate gauge of each horse's probability of winning.
As a valued member of RacelineBet.com, you can now access ProfitLine
odds through our virtual tote board system. As part of our Player
