Let me see if I understand this.

Let's say I want to bet Casino Drive to win in the Belmont Stakes, but I am only willing to accept odds of 7-5 or higher. However, when wagering opens, his odds are 6-5, and they creep lower from there, never reaching 7-5. Does this mean I have no bet?

The bet won't get placed until 30 seconds to post or something.....

Going to cause alot of flucuations now that a larger ADW is going to offer it....

This sounds like a disaster waiting to happen for a lot of reasons.

So what happens when the horse they don't want to bet at 5-2 moves up to 3-1, and then the ADW pours tons of money into the win pool because the threshhold has been met, and the odds drop to 9-5 and the horse loses?

What happens now when you are doing your own conditional wagering and that happens? It is what it is, and you have to realize this may happen. I don't see it as a reason to not offer automatic conditional wagering.
