"The bets originated from two internet account-wagering sites, betamerica.com, based in North Dakota, and link2bet.com, based on the Isle of Man. The accounts were suspended after an investigation was launched into the wagers.
However, the accounts were not shut down in time for the bettors to attempt another strange series of bets in the eighth race at Thistledown, investigators said. In that race, which was won by the third choice, the mutuel pool was $60,530, but investigators said that the final size of the pool was lower than the size of the pool prior to the last odds cycle because of a flurry of late cancellations that remain under investigation." Sounds to me more than a computer "glitch"...

But I also understand some software engineering. And "glitches" of this magnitude do not happen randomly. Nothing is random in the world of software engineering. It is all calculated and accounted for. If there was a software malfunction, then it would have been sending in improper amounts from the moment the software malfunctioned. Software does not designate when and where to selectively error, it either errors or it does not. Based on the information provided, this software malfunction only selectively decided to place improper bet amounts at Thistle in these 2 races? Which in fact were not even back to back races on the card.. No other tracks reported any inconsistent betting amounts being submitted. That is an impossibility if it was a software malfunction.... Not an impossibility if it was a betting coup, a staged malfunction set by software engineers, or some other scandal of some sort. Last edited by pba1817 : 05-25-2012 at 09:41 PM.
