Race viewing by Sporting Life is now confined to a gambling audience.Viewers around the world are now locked out unless the country agrees to allow gambling on their site.I have been watchjing SL for nearly twenty yeazrs now. Viewers in the USA can no longer watch the racing in the UK except at ATR.Sad idea of progress;the follow up of racing thoroughbred pruchases is no longer available to vierwers from the USA on SL.I will no longer be able to view the progress of horses in which I have an economic interest due to this "progress".There must be thousands like me around the world.This approach will hardly increase the interest of young people in racing.Puts racing back into the sleazy "bookie" category
Sportinglife.com is proud to launch our free At The Races video archive meaning you can watch video form from all UK tracks FREE and in one place.
Is that false advertising from SL or what? One must sign on to a gambling site costing money to see the races.In the USA we cannot see them at all.
What exactly is their definition of FREE?Can’t you just borrow the login details of someone’s dormant skybet account? I must have hundreds of them you could borrow.
Forgive me I just remembered we cannot log on in the USA.
You could try using an anonymous proxy or enter the Sporting life site through here at http://anonymouse.org/anonwww.html
Making changes to your "Hosts" file in your
system 32
folder which is also an option, I will not explain how to do this as this goes into the dark art of hacking
sportinglife is a free-to-view website, they have to make money somehow and they will probably get referral pennies from skybet.
how may I view all races from every track in the US for free please?
This will give details if you want to play:-

In what way does editing your hosts file fool the Sporting Life web server into thinking you have a North American IP number?

One word of caution, before you alter your "hosts" file especially if you do not know what you are doing, make a copy of the hosts file as you will not be able to access anything if you mess up.
The ISP’s are now starting to block P2P websites etc. like my favourite warez-bb, to bypass this, all I did was add two lines in my "hosts" file:
Even now the power of the "Hosts" file still amazes me in what it can do and achieve.
Windows 7 will not let you edit the hosts file, so you have to open up in
Notepad
, right click on the program and "run as administrator", then using the program, open up and navigate through to your hosts file, edit and change, then save.
Like I already said, I will not explain how to do it
So at the bottom of the hosts file I would enter something like this:
[code:2t9wmuwl]194.6.248.11 sportinglife.com www.sportinglife.com[/code:2t9wmuwl]
Like I already said, I will not explain how to do it
Because you cant explain it, because it is of no relevance to andyods problem.

I don’t gamble. I love to watch the horses running.I love English racing and follow young Irish jockeys riding in England.I live in the US and have been contributing to this site for close to twenty years.So because gamblers from the US are not allowed to gamble on international gambling sites nobody can watch SL racing in the USA.Is that not throwing out the baby with the bath water?Is that in the best interest of racing in general and English racing in particular.? Many breeders and racing people go to England to buy yearlings to race in the USA and like to do their homework before buying.I realize that with low prize money the market is declining nevertheless do you not want to encourage people to watch the horses running?Do people in England get the "free" viewing without paying to join the Gambling site?Why call it free if it is not?
Just use Racing UK’s website for race replays (link in left hand column of homepage). It works just like the ATR website’s replays.
I’m in the U.S. too, and get free replays fine this way. You just need to register with them.
I just wonder how long it will be until they start their club once we are all suckered in and starting charge us a fee.
Seems odd to me the Racing Post is not fighting back they must have lost hundreds of thousands of visitors since they started charging people.
That makes me wonder if Sportinglife charges aren’t far away.
Where I live is blocked. I only had a few accounts in the Uk as I have almost always used a CA to place my bets or used Betfair through mu Australian account as RA’s in the UK are a joke.
All the luck I had a Skybet account not that long ago but got angry and closed due to the fact they refused a bet any decent course bookie would have taken without blinking an eye but it was like they couldn’t be bothered even trying to lay it off.. Had a real set to with them so I doubt if they would reopen it as they now they know I am in Asia..So I’m well fooked
Getting round the block is simple whats not so simple is being able to watch vidoes as the likes of tor browser doesn’t have flash so it’s impossible to play a video without giving your location away.
I suppose it’s whether the actual playing of the videos if you go through sportinglife/skybet is blocked or not or just Skybet refusing account form banned countries.
Has anyone opened an account with them because of this if so what confirmation if any do they ask for?
