Mountaineer Park odds manipulation...

[Calzone Lord]

Someone is doing a pretty brazen job of it tonight.

Race #7: Oddity --- a sucker horse with slow dirt form shipping in from Kentucky is 1/9 the entire way.

Thrown Away -- who has a serious pace edge and is the best horse in the race on dirt is 14/1 with 0 MTP.

I end up -- like a fool -- just betting Thrown Away but expecting a huge cancel on the favorite to come at the last second.

Thrown Away -- 14/1 when loaded in the gate paid $6.20

Here is the kicker though ... the 2/1 eventual favorite over the 2/1 eventual second choice paid $61.40 in the exacta.

That exacta literally should have paid no more than $20 any day of the week.

The horse who was 1/9 before the late cancel job ended up being the 5/2 third choice in the betting.

A couple different people told me the exact same thing happened in race #2 at MNR today ... Andrun was 1/9 with 1 MTP and 2/5 as they loaded --- ended up not even close to favorite.

There is NO WAY in the world that $61.40 exacta ever pays more than $20 without that tote manipulation.

Considering the #2 went in the gate at "14/1" odds -- and the #8 went in the gate at "15/1" odds ... you can understand how it happened.

That's one of the more clever redboards we've seen in awhile.

I got killed today... killed.

If that makes you feel any better about a $6.20 winner that was 14/1 loading into the gate.

Some 250lbs chick did buy me a drink though.... so, by your standards, a solid enough day.

how much $ does it take to manipulate the odds at the mountain? 200 bucks?

They bet over $150,000 on the race. Almost 50K in the exacta pool.

200 bucks -- Are you serious?

Someone bet about $10,000 or more on the 10 and cancelled at the last second.

I did this stuff as a teller when I was 18 years old. You don't need to have $10,000 to bet $10,000 if you intend to cancel. And -- you can cancel huge bets all day everyday and they never say anything to you about it.

Did you buy her breakfast?

It was my fault -- I sat down in the bar stool next to her and got wings.

She was 15 years older than me --- looked like Barney Rubble -- and wouldn't stop talking.

250lbs would be a lie in all honesty --- maybe 180 or 190lbs... but I wanted to try and turn IC on.

I would be too worried that the tote system would go down at the last second.

If Mountaineer Park wants to put a stop to it ... that's obviously how they do it.

Next time these phony win bets come in on horses like Andrun and Oddity -- and they have horses 1/9 going into the gate that won't even be the favorite... just cut-off the betting on the race two minutes early and leave the wiseass who is doing it stuck at 1/9 for money he probably doesn't even have on him.

Would this be considered the second clever redboard of this thread?

I can be the Babe Ruth of Redboarding if I want because I'm involved all over.

You guys want to see how Redboarding is properly done using a race run this week?


* Suttle Rich and Kip's Boy hook up in a vicious speed duel on August 2nd that earns them HUGE pace figures in races where they both stopped to a walk in the stretch -- and that gets them on my Stable Mail list.


* August 2nd Duel:




* Suttle Rich on my stable mail ...




* Suttle Rich and Kip's Boy meet again a few days ago on Aug 16th... as you can see - lesson learned ... this time Suttle Rich is allowed an uncontested lead at odds of 41/1.




* With the duel avoided -- Suttle Rich goes wire-to-wire at 41/1 odds. Kip's Boy runs 2nd (as part of an entry) to complete a $289 exacta. They seperate themselves from the rest of the field.

E-Mail reminding me how smart I am:





And THAT'S what a REAL redboard looks like. Not some of this slapdick type of sh!t I see from tards all the time.

The beauty about FL is that all of the off-shores and the two exchanges take them.

I even bother with races for Canterbury Park and Emerald Downs. In fact, one of my bet backs paid $2.40 in the 6th race at Canterbury last night.

I truly have no life.

Ms Cecile. I do capping for Canterbury.

Mike Chambers....guy wins a race by 8 with a 72 beyer for 5k. Next race...of course 5k and another 10 length win.

If you were honest and fell upon a 5k claimer that got really good, you would raise him up, protect him a bit and at least take a shot at bigger money. If you cheat, and you know the horse is worth 88 cents, you keep him/her at 5k for the rest of their life, despite how many times they win.

Yeah, Chambers is a hop artist. He's often a candidate for the Golden Syringe.

Ms Cecile dueled a fairly well-bet horse to a complete stop when she ran that 72 Beyer for 5K condition claiming as well. Only put her on hoping he'd take a shot and jump her way up in class.

It's still pretty clever, because I see that you also got to casually drop in an unmentioned, sneaky redboard on Tiger Mike without even saying anything about it.

Well played, sir.

I might as well as just wrap up scumbag of the decade and try to pat myself on the back for this ingenious post after her last race:

Everyone hates me for good reason. She saved ground.

[GPK]

Didn't get a ton of time to pay attention, but in the 1st race just a few minutes ago, the 8 was 2/5 going into the gate and the first click after the race starts he shows up at 6/5.

this has been going on all meet, weekday nights are the worse. The horse that has always opened up at something ridiclously short like 1/5, then come 1-3 mtp, it floats up to 2-1, and a new favorite emerges. Obviously not one of these horses have won opening up at the heavy favorite, in the times I have watched. I got caught once and vowed to myself no more. I got home and figured to play a tri and exacta multiple times based on the heavy favorite. Needless to say they got me, and i kept noticing what was going on. So I have decided to avoid Moutaineer altogether even if i have pps.

Evangeline Dows this has happened a couple of times too, but nothing near as frequent or blatant as Mountaineer

[tanner12oz]

it happened on west virginia day with by far the most money in the pools all year...

not really sure something should be done about it but it is kinda a sleazy move and without a doubt suckers alot of the dumb money at simulcast centers throughout the country
