Meadowlands to reinstate post time drag

[gh2009]

I am sure the $900k increase was mostly CAW and not so much the drag

did the dramatic odds changes after the bell occur?

I was watching the basketball game and Charlestown

Of course Settlemoir will credit the drag for the increased handle but the majority of it came from the CAW's and he knows it.

Over $3 million in handle again tonight kids!

when over $1.5 mil is CAW action--this is not something to be proud of

Interesting.. the last few weekends Mohawk had more handle, and this weekend Meadowlands had almost a million dollars more handle per night. Does anyone know if the CAW's are allowed to fire into the WPS pool with less than 2 minutes to post, that was changed and I wonder if that is the main cause of the increase. It has to be right?

[Papillon]

yes-the CAWs are back to what they were doing before, this is the only reason they even get close to a $3mil handle

Do people here invest in stocks? No different there! The big hedge funds determine the price and the small investors go along for the ride.  If you don't like it, find something else to bet on with your money.  The main objective is to have FUN betting a race and getting excited over your choice.

Everything wrong with the entire sport encapsulated into 1 post. Sadly, this is how many many view it. Including management. The industry is 1000% doomed

Why is this wrong?  I’m guessing you think the stock market is going to die soon also. It is the nature of business. Big fish always get a bit of an advantage

Hope is not a strategy.

1. The only industry in history that universally thinks it's "right" to tell customers to go consume a competitors product if you don't like it
2. The industry doesn't even know their own product. Its not selling "fun". They aren't selling "Fun". Thus isn't an amusement park. This isn't the NFL. Racing is in GAMBLING industry. They sell a GAMBLING product

No, I am positive that I can believe that horse racing is doomed and the stock market will be perfectly fine. This is not a relevant comparison whatsoever

so you think it is just fine to get cheated on the price you get?

I am supposed to get excited and have fun when my horse blasts to the lead and his odds drop from 9/2 to 4/5?

you are delusional and that mentality is exactly what CAWs prey on....easy money.

The handle is back to where it was and will top $3 million easily tonight.

All-source betting totaled $3,594,870, the second biggest night of business this year at The Big M!

In response to your #1 there. Do you think McDonald’s is going to use better beef because you don’t like their burgers?  No they will keep their recipe the same and you can go to Wendy’s. Will Wall Street give you a better price on stocks because you are a minority player? No. They will cater to the big investors. Same with any other industry. When you buy a vehicle do you get the same price as someone buying 1000 in fleet vehicles. Absolutely not
