Agree with Andy and others that there's no way this was a betting coup. . . there are a bunch of reasons why it couldn't be.

It's interesting that these computer guys/batch bettors seem to be making a comeback. . . I hadn't been noticing them as much lately. Very similar to HFT algos in the financial markets - let's hope they don't get as out of control.

While last minute and automated computer betting is frowned upon, it's hard to turn away business when it produces millions of dollars worth of handle. I know a lot of it still goes on. Heck, conditional wagering on almost all major ADW platforms allows for last minute wagering now. This particular incident can be anything from computer error to human error... but doubtful it shakes-out to be criminal.
