Definitely downplaying the effect on wagering. Would like to know what % each harness track allows them to wager.

Not surprising that they say that they CAWs really only hurt the really good human (retail) players.
We will see how that holds up in court. Their position is every day, loser gamblers are gonna lose with or without CAWs so what does it matter to them. These arent the people complaining. Very crummy mess these tracks got themselves in.

Very interesting, thanks for sharing

CAWs account for roughly 50% of the handle at all tracks--whether it be tbred or harness
if bettors see big pools-they think that is a good thing-when indeed the opposite is true
when 50% of the handle isn't human-and those bets come in way after the race starts....the bettors have little chance and their pockets are getting picked every race
if you want to avoid CAW play-bet Oaklawn Park-the only major tbred track that doesn't allow CAW action into their pools

That goes for all betting in every sport! ngc3 ngc3 ngc3 ngc3 ngc3

50% of handle at buggy tracks? Doubt that. What is your source?

almost a perfect post but i read a couple years ago it was 41 percent and was looking for it but could not find it and then i saw a 30 percent one today but i remember the 41 percent was from a good source but dont remember the source but the Oaklawn Park part is correct as the GM of the track said he believes in fair play i know i seem to always agree with him but his posts only talk racing and i find very helpful to the game

thank you Sir
you are one of a small handful of people who actually know for a fact what I post is accurate
the non believers are slowly fading away--the money coming in way after the race starts--this percentage of the handle these CAWs generate and the overall corruption between the tracks and major ADWs that I have mentioned for years is now coming to light
there will always be a group of delusional players/posters that still believe that this is all legit....that the betting stops after the race starts-i can only pity those people

A few months ago i asked my betting site if they could check into JAPAN B track wagering and this is hosted by a AUSTRAILIAN HUB as 2-5 minutes after a race odds changed and if anybody bet that product they would know its true and 90 percent of the time winning horse and exactors dropped in price and the hub i bet with said no answers him back and i repeated asking him again and again and the site never called him back , Now a few months ago winning odds stopped changing after a race but this went on for a couple years and also when double carryovers happened would see 40000 dollars bet into a 6000 carryover at 4 in thee morning with 90 percent of America unable to bet on it and i would bet at odds of 1-100 that 40000 dollars was not bet into these pools were no one had a racing form and for many they would not know where to finds track odds and this money came from north AMERICAn betting and again i asked the hub i bet with if he could find out where this money was coming from and this time he was answered and the reply was we do not give up customer information, Now almost all gamblers who gamble on a regular basis have found a clitch in the system and took advantage of this situation and people who are paid to watch this just sit back and do nothing and believe that no news is better than bad news and for sure that is not true as like in the CAPONE days everybody knows what is happening and people are driven away as everybody wants just rewards when cashing and not a fraction of a normal payoff

Pity yourself, Nobody bets after the BELL!
What you post is your own delusional conjecture no facts!!!
During a one-year period of Santa Anita data studied (July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2025), the average amount of handle in the last 60 seconds coming from CAW players in each race was 30%. That means that 70% of the late money was from non-CAW players. So CAW players certainly contributed to the late odds shift, but they were not the sole cause.
In some respects, technology has caused the issue of late odds shifts because advancements in online wagering now allow so much money to come into the win pool in the last 60 seconds. So we need to look to technology for solutions. AmTote now updates its tote odds every 10 seconds as the race nears, which helps to smooth out the changes in odds. But other tote companies are still sending their data into the pools on 30-second cycles.
The wagering pools at a host track—such as Santa Anita—close simultaneously for all guest locations (racetracks, casinos, OTBs, and ADW companies) wagering into those pools. It is not possible for any player, including any Elite player, to place a wager after the pools have closed. AmTote possesses detailed time-synchronized transactional logs and Inter Tote System Protocol logs between its respective guest hubs and host racetrack hubs, archived indefinitely. AmTote can clearly demonstrate the time that each wager transaction was received and validate that it was before the time of the stop betting command. The only time any player would be able to wager after a race starts is the extremely rare circumstance where the wagering pools for a race fail to close due to human error. In that circumstance, the wagering pools would remain open for all guest locations until the error is rectified.

you seem to be under the impression that the pools close when the race starts
that's ok Saw--i have heard it all for 15 years about how honest all of this is

If there's betting after the start its a very rare malfunction of the tote system. But conspiracy theorists and haters believe the nonsense.

Right...I would assume less than 20% on buggys

As someone who has worked around IT and finance my whole like, I am skeptical bets are placed after the race starts. What is happening is the final pools are not updated instantly. If large dollar amounts of bets are being placed after the race starts it is major fraud and would be easy for an IT auditor to find. Either there would be bets with timestamps after the races started or there would be code which which changes the timestamp and that code would only called for certain bets.
Since there are a number of people on Horseplop who are sure this is happening, I suggest they start reporting this to the FBI and the state attorney general of any state which has a track involved.

Kenny on BReeders cup day many moons ago tickets were printed after the first three legs and i have never read anything about the im sorry or we have made changes and as far as i am concerned when a huge favorite breaks early and the groups destroy every pool its betting after the race and the biggest advantage play there is as the people who cashed on the legit loose 90 percent of their payoff and windows were not shut down at certain times and ive seen the race go official and that should be jail time for the people involved, Who has not taken advantage of a horse breaking before the start and racetracks that had rules that no refunds occured and when payoffs came back to 10 percent of a real payoff many in the crowd feel a boat race has just happened and people are driven away

Can you go back to school and come back when you can write in readable English?

This is 2025 not many moons ago. Everything done on any platform is timestamped and all devices are synced to the same time. That means there would have to be wagers with a timestamp after the start of the race or code that changed the timestamp for only certain bets. That is major fraud. If all you would report your thoughts to authorities, a low level auditor could find these things easily.
