### 1/5 — Complete fail

*2026-08-09*

Used this app for a 2026 Derby party. Had collected over $300 in wagers. Prior to race, scratched the one horse that had fallen irl. (Some people had bet on this horse and needed to be refunded).

After the race, all bets were gone. The app had deleted every wager everyone had made and had no payouts. Like it had totally reset.

Idk if this was a bug on the scratched horse or if the app decides to zero out the wagers when you want to calculate winners. I had paid for it just in case it was a setup. I feel like I was setup anyway.

If it worked, the app needs to be set up with bettors’ names before party, as this is tedious. IDK how well it works with payouts because it didn’t.

**Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to let us know about the problems you had and we are very sorry it affected your Derby party. Please contact us at homebet@msinnovations.us so we can work to correct the problem.

### 5/5 — Great App for a Kentucky Derby Party
