NYRA pulls show betting on La Verdad race

[blackthroatedwind]

What many people probably realize is that the simulcast outlet that takes a show wager is liable for any minus pool costs associated with that wager. However, what some may not know is that many simulcast outlets will not allow show wagering on a specific race even if the host track allows it. Subsequently, this will increase the likelihood of any bridge jumping taking place at the host track, or other sites that allow it.

In races with minus pools, those accepting those bets are essentially deviating from the pari-mutual system, and actually gambling on the results. It's sort of interesting.
