The network traffic just before the Belmont was probably equivalent to the "100 year flood" and it is not surprising that Youbet and probably every other major wagering hub had problems. I tried to make the same wager multiple times and failed (I thought) only to find out that all the wagers had actually gone through. However, Youbet has sent me a note saying they are crediting me for the full amount of the mistaken multiple wagers (8 to be exact) and they did this without any prompting on may part.
I don't mind the fact that they did not engineer the system for such an unexpected peak load (keeps costs down) assuming that they learn from this and re-configure accordingly. I do give them credit for handling the problem the way they did, which is about all you could expect given the situation.
