Supertote - Renovations - Pace and Cap

Ted Craven · 01-08-2018, 11:41 AM

Woke up today to find Brisnet has revamped its site and Supertote is now located at a different web link than the one RDSS currently uses

FYI, that link is: http://www.brisnet.com/cgi-bin/supertote/tracks.cgi (or navigate the new home page at brisnet.com, look for the MORE item on the menu, then look for 'Free Supertote'. This gets you in by browser, but it's no good for RDSS.

So - no Supertote within RDSS until I update the tote module and issue an update, hopefully this week.

I will NOT be updating the older RDSS 2.0, only RDSS 2.1. If you are not using RDSS 2.1 and would like to, just let me know.

It's always something ...

FWIW, I've been working for a while on several updates to the tote system, including getting alternate (and redundant) feeds from XpressBet and TwinSpires. Those other ADWs won't be available in the next update when I fix SuperTote, but just FYI.

Where have I heard that before? :-)

UPDATE - now the new Supertote link I posted above does not work at all. Just refers to a TwinSpries mobile site.

I called Brisnet Customer Support. They said the decision had been made (apparently between 11:30 am ET and now) to discontinue Supertote. Period. Permanently.

I expressed how disruptive this decision is, not only to me but to a hundred others of my 'acquaintance'. They escalated to a supervisor my concern about immediately reinstating Supertote, from whom I await a call back.

It could be time for some mass action. Perhaps if EVERYONE using Supertote, inside or outside RDSS, called Brisnet Customer Service the combined impact would convince them to change their minds. Call 1 800 354-9206. It would help if you had your Brisnet login ID handy, or your email.

I'll keep folks posted ...

Have an account with trackmasters stats race lens program and their live odds feed has been streaming all day. Live in Nevada so location must not be an issue.

Thanks HarryS for the info about TrackMaster Stat Race lens. I tested this product and am not sure if it is a good replacement for SuperTote (maybe for someone who subscribes to it).

Still working things out ...
