The fixed-odds betting format has been in use for months on site at Monmouth Park, and now it's available from home.

While monmouthbets.com subscribers currently can use fixed odds only for Monmouth Park races, BetMakers executive Dallas Baker told
NJ Online Gambling Wednesday, “That is only for a moment. It will change in a couple of weeks.”
A dozen or so tracks already have signed on, and so far, it looks as if Colorado could be the second state to offer fixed odds. An enabling law was passed there in March, although
the process has gotten bogged down ever since.
Baker cites
a list of partner tracks that includes Assiniboia Downs, Century Mile (harness), Canterbury Park, Caymanas Park, Colonial Downs, Delaware Park, Emerald Downs, Fairmont Park, Grants Pass, Hawthorne (harness), and Tampa Bay Downs.
Who else is involved in conversations about fixed odds? New Jersey-based lobbyist Bill Pascrell III mentioned Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Oklahoma, Washington state, and Florida — with New York lawmakers also expressing interest.
