A $30,000. bet at Hollywood sends a ml 30/1 to 3/5 then is cancelled with 3 minutes to post. Not the first time in Cali .

I'm sure it was just another "mistake" like the investigation revealed last week. This cancel sh!t needs to go away. You bet 30 grand, you should know what you are betting.

I am not sure of other tracks but at Sam Houston Race Park any bet above $500 cant be cancelled unless there is a scratch.

There's really no 'investigation' necessary considering every venue that's been affected knows what the strange situation involves... It's a huge Xpressbet customer who fires wildly on a regular basis and sometimes changes his mind and cancels. There's not a lot more to it. I know people would love to believe there's an involved scheme behind this, but the guy isn't a sophisticate. The question is how to get him to stop the cancelations.

What is hard about that?

Also, could you point out a time or two where he has bet 30k on a 30-1 ML horse and didn't cancel? I sure don't remember any.

4NJBets used to not allow a bet of $1000 or more to be cancelled online. You had to call in. I would think the risk of not getting to someone when you called in would deter someone from doing it.

how does Xpressbet not have cancellation limits?
