I understand there's not too many gamblers that post on this site anymore, and the horsemen don't really care about the gambling aspect of the game. Truth is, eventually welfare money is going to stop coming in, and the computer bettors will disappear. Its likely that every big player has left the game except senior citizens using retirement money, as its clear to anyone that the game is unbeatable right now. The addicted horse players are getting older and older with no new players coming in. This can't go on forever, and eventually this dead game will stay dead, forever. Letting Elite Turf Club monitor all wagers and giving them edge betting is not just completely immoral, but also just a bad idea financially. Yet there seems to be no one at track management who looks at things through a good lens. The racetrack understood that people equate bad payoffs to cheating. Horses go off stride and computers are able to make thousands of bets that create horrible payoffs, it makes the game look like an embarrassment. We have never had answers from that pick 6 scandal way back about how they actually prevented something like that from happening again. Even in poker, vulnerabilities are being found, and those sites are investing millions into security, so how much security could the race track have when they put not effort and no money into security?
