Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I get VIP instead of just the live Session?
The live session is one event... VIP gives you selections all month long.
Each weekend, Duke shares his strongest opinions, posts plays across multiple tracks, gives you access to our courses, and includes any live events happening while your subscription is active.
If you want consistent guidance instead of just one day, VIP is the move.
Can I ask Duke questions directly?
Yes, you will have a Live Q&A at the end of the livestream and have access to our VIP community for the weekend where you can ask any questions.
How long will it be?
The live stream will be between around an hour and could go longer with the Q&A section.
Will this cover every race?
Yes but Duke will focus on the races that matter most — the ones worth betting. Time is spent where the edge is.
