Things You’ll Need:
- Credit card or other funding options
Step1
Sign up for an online account at YouBet.com (see Resources below). Simply fill out all of your personal and contact information, and arrange for funding of your account through a credit card or by transferring funds directly from your bank account. Note that YouBet.com requires your Social-Security number, but you provide it via a secure server.
Step2
Take advantage of all the resources available on the YouBet.com website to handicap the race at the Belmont Stakes. At YouBet.com, you can view pool totals, payouts, odds, race results and last-minute changes through streaming-video capabilities. For an extra fee, you can also link to the Daily Racing Form, TrackMaster and Equibase websites for additional tips and race results.
Step3
Bet through YouBet.com by logging on, specifying the racing event and making your wager. You can ask for a straight bet or experiment with more complex wagering, such as boxes, picks and multiple bets. YouBet.com offers an exclusive betting feature that allows you to store bets in an online queue and make instant wagers with a click of your mouse, which is useful in case of scratches and last-minute changes at the paddocks.
Step4
Watch the Belmont Stakes through live-streaming video right on the YouBet.com website. You can also watch two races simultaneously through the X2 Video feature, or view the entire Belmont Stakes in the archives.
Step5
Use the Players Trust service to manage your winnings on YouBet.com. This service provides a banking institution that acts as a liaison between you and YouBet.com, protecting and distributing all of your winnings to your bank account in a quick and secure manner.
