Manipulating Horse Race Pools

This article at Daily Racing Form drf.com, is very interesting. It talks about how computer programs manipulate the odds at smaller tracks. This will ultimately lead to changes in the industry.

Also, another note. Perhaps Sports & Horse betting should be on separate categories on the forum? We seem to have a small, but possibly growing following of horse racing enthusiasts.

Nothing new here. About 10 years ago a syndicate hit Vegas books. At Pimlico, no less. It's handle was low enough for them to manipulate the pool that Tuesday on several races. Most books will only take small bets on small handle tracks for that reason.
These guys evidently hit online books. Now lets see if they get paid LOL
