Mind you NYRA does offer a very good rewards platform.

Like you I am uncertain if it pans out but I cant blame them for trying something

Here's the hook Freddy,a majority of the people at OTB's/race tracks don't play via ADW's.
They are pretty much a cash through the machines lot(for various reasons).
Truthfully I was a bit surprised at the interest shown in the bet yesterday.
I suppose the fact that Belmont had the high quality card had a lot to do with it.......apparently people really love the P-4/5.
I'm only guessing here,but I imagine the bettors just took their P-5 money and shipped it to GP/MTH/WOOD etc. when they couldn't play the wager they wanted.
In terms of the other ADW's, I would guess the players weren't pleased about being denied the chance to play the bet.
I'm thinking the NYRA left a lot of money on the table,and probably didn't score a whole lot of points with some of their more loyal bettors.
