![]() I could have forgiven myself for having a future ticket on Monba...but betting on him on race day, now that was just unforgiveable.

Is it possible to allow for 700+ betting interests? Of course, just not with the current software and hardware. Upgrading software and hardware would cost money, and as the bet is handled now, it does not generate enough money to justify the expense. Obviously if the tote system was upgraded, the bet would draw more dollars. But as I have said before and as everyone knows, NO ONE MAKES CHANGES IN THIS INDUSTRY UNLESS THEY HAVE UNDENIABLE PROOF THAT THE CHANGE WON'T RESULT IN A TEMPORARY PROFIT LOSS WHICH WOULD RESULT IN THEM LOSING THEIR JOB. And so, we are stuck with 24 betting interests...unless they implement my plan or one of the others. |

![]() if youve seen the tote machines at crc you would know they seem to have been designed by cavemen. there are bets you are either unable to make at all that are available at other tracks or the way you must punch in the plays are ridiculous

As far as this having anything to do with future wagers, I don't know but when I see him again I will ask him if it can accomodate the large nimbers, if I can stand him being in my face and violating my 3 ft of personal space, he is a strange dude... ![]() |

![]() How is it possible that CD's system cannot accommodate wagering on individual horses up to any reasonable number. It can accommodate wagering on all possible superfecta and high 5 wagers in the 20-horse Kentucky Derby field. The Vegas system isn't pari-mutuel, so that's comparing apples and oranges, but there is no excuse for the failure to provide more than 24 separate interests.

We've always had the "debit" cards here with FGNetBet so didn't even think about not being able to use TS cards. I like the machines, much better than scientific games before. |

If you want to see the most updated odds go to Dave Tuley's viewfromvegas.com and on the main racebook notes page he should have a link to the lucky's and Wynn odds. NT |

![]() The only 'technical issue' I see in my proposal is listing the willpays before the pool closes- and early on in the betting there will be some odd results with $0 wagered on most of the interests- because most tracks don't have the capability of displaying trifecta willpays. However, with a competent linemaker estimating probables it wouldn't be an issue because whether a name closes at 100-1 or 125-1 isn't a huge deal to 99% of players this would attract.
What they could do as an alternative to showing every name on a rolling basis is show the top 25 or so that have taken the most money and odds on those.

With 24 betting interests, the last day's betting is reasonably uniform, with the exception of horses that run on the Saturday of the weekend. With 400+ betting interests, the odds will be flying all over the place. --Dunbar
