I only play NYRA and SoCal. I believe you it happens at other tracks. What do you want me to do about that? I just believe that the product at the top of the market should reflect it is at the top of the market. They do not have to do that if they do not want to. It is a matter of customer service. I think they should be providing normal courtesies that facilitate betting. They do not. Fair enough. You can think I am a pathetic cry baby if you like, but if you want to chase all the pathetic crybabies out of your game, your game will decline.
In almost any other industry in the world, if a customer complains, the motto is the customer is always right. In horseracing, the customer who complains is a pussy crybaby and should buck up or leave. The just doesnt seem like a good approach to keep something going.
