Premier Turf Club or PTC has always been an innovator when it comes to online horse race wagering systems. Recently, PTC upgraded its revolutionary conditional wagering queue on its website by introducing a bet file upload feature. Basically, a bet file upload system allows players to construct wagers on forward-dated races, and even on races current planned for the day. These wagers are to be sent in simple comma (,) delimited text file directly into the PTC conditional and non-conditional wagering queues. The text files can be created using any third-party handicapping tool like a spreadsheet or a text editing program. Bets can be designated as conditional wagering, dutch, or standard queued wagers.

The comma-delimited text file follows a specific format to make all wagers as uniform as possible, making for a speedier processing. A regular bet upload file will probably look like: 2007-01-01,JWM,9,TRIFECTA,4-1-3,82.00.

The format for this sample: 2007-01-01,JWM,9, TRIFECTA,4-1-3,82.00 follows this pattern:
• Race date - which can be currently dated or forward-dated, following year-month-day separated by a hyphen. Example: YYYY-MM-DD or 2007-01-01 or 2007-10-13.
• Track code - registered PTC members can access track codes at http://www.premierturfclub.com/client/uploadbet/uploadBet?action=trackCodes
• Race number - 1 to 99 formats without placeholders. Example: 1,2,3,4 … ,12,etc.
• Bet type – usual bet types include Dutch, exacta, etc. For a complete list of the different bet types available at PTC, registered members can access them at: http://www.premierturfclub.com/client/uploadbet/uploadBet?action=betTypes
• Bet combination - for multiple horse or multiple leg wagers whereby the runners must be separated by hyphens. Example for a trifecta combination: 10-4-7
• Dollar amount – using numeric codes only with a two digit decimal point demarcation. Examples: 150.00 or 99.9900 or0 225.55
• For conditional wagers only, the last column should establish minimum odds. If the wagers are constructed for the non-conditional queue, this last column should be left empty.

Other examples of conventional bet file upload are:
• 2007-10-13,BLM,10,EXACTA,10-2,10.00,129.00
• 2007-09-11,RCR,10,WIN,3,2.00,9/2
• 2007-11-11,CLD,3,SUPERFECTA,9-10-3-4,0.20

All successfully uploaded bet files for the day’s races may be viewed in the Queue Bets panel on the wagering screen. On the other hand, all bets queued for future dates will appear in the Queued Bets panel at the start of the specified dates; or by simply clicking on the button marked “View Previously Loaded Bets” of the same web page.

The wonderful thing about this system is that it solidifies PTC’s aim to create an account wagering service designed and managed by players – for players. This cutting-edge technology is the first of its kind in all online rave horse wagering system, and it increases the potential players’ market considerably. It is also the most easily accessible and straightforward bet placement scheme.
