TVG (TV Games Network) is a television channel and online betting service that allows customers to wager on horse racing. But does TVG cost money? The answer is yes – the channel does have a subscription fee, but the online betting service does not. In this article, we will explain how much you can expect to pay for the TVG channel and what types of betting services are available for free.
TVG Channel Subscription Fees
TVG is available on satellite and cable television. Depending on the provider and package, you can expect to pay a monthly fee of between $5 and $15. This fee covers access to the TVG channel, which broadcasts live horse racing events from around the country. Subscribers also have access to on-demand replays of past races, as well as handicapping information, news, and analysis.
Free TVG Betting Services
The TVG betting service is free to use, although there are some restrictions. Customers must be at least 18 years old and be physically located in a state where TVG betting is legal (currently, this includes California, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia).
Outside of these states, customers can still watch the TVG channel and access the handicapping information, news, and analysis. However, they will not be able to place wagers online.
Types of Bets
TVG offers a variety of wagering options for customers. These include:
- Straight Bets: This is the most basic type of bet. Customers can choose a single horse to win a race, or they can choose to “box” multiple horses in an exacta, trifecta, or superfecta.
- Parlays: Parlays are multiple bets, usually consisting of three or more races. Customers can choose to wager on multiple horses in each race, but they must pick the winner in every race to win the parlay.
- Daily Doubles: Daily doubles involve picking the winners of two consecutive races. Customers can choose to wager on multiple horses in each race, but they must pick the winner in both races to win the double.
- Pick 3s, Pick 4s, and Pick 6s: These are multiple race wagers that involve picking the winners of three, four, or six consecutive races. Customers can choose to wager on multiple horses in each race, but they must pick the winner in all races to win the wager.
