The edge didn't help him "Through a live teller Maloney said he then made four wagers that were similar to bets he already had made on the race. He said they were all losing tickets." |

![]() This is a non issue unless it is happening a lot or because someone is trying to gain an advantage by doing it. If those are the cases it is a big problem but that does not seem to be the case.

That's nonsense Chuck. It shouldn't be able to ever happen. And, the likelihood that if it happened this time that it doesn't happen other times is zero. Plus, perception is that it does happen, and that matters a great deal. If they need to close the pools when the first horse is loaded then they should. People will learn to adjust. Any situation where the machines are open after the start is completely unacceptable. |

![]() I'd have to agree. Just because they didn't get burned, doesn't mean it wasn't a big deal.

It should never happen. Imagine seeing some wingnut cashing his ticket that you saw making the bet halfway through the race. Especially if he dropped 10k on it & brought your odds down. |

![]() Out of curiosity, how does the stop wagering mechanism work? Is it linked to the starter's gate button? If not, shouldn't it be?

![]() The only problem that I have with a first-horse loaded system would be gate issues.
I would hate for my play of the week to break through the gate or even fight the gate crew loading, and be stuck holding the ticket with no way to cancel. The perception is that some people are wagering or cancelling late. It is a problem. |

![]() Not that i'm doubting Mike Maloney's claim to be a whale, but isn't there a big difference between betting $6 million or $12 million a year? Seems like a big range to me

![]() It would be nice to know how often that it does happen...the appearance of more impropriety does not help the game.
