Rocky, your comment that horse players need more help with betting echoes what I was trying to get to in a post about six weeks ago on the red board issue. Horseplayers don’t know how to bet, as a whole, and can’t make fast enough updates and changes compared to the computers if they have that preparation . The problem seems to be the computer guys don’t have to worry about how to “bet” as they cover all possible angles and then as was mentioned if they can be close to breaking even, the rebates make up the difference in terms of net profit. Otherwise it seems each time computers have taken on humans in almost every venue computers prevail. Computers versus human at blackjack, computers win, computers versus humans at chess, computers win. Computers versus humans in the stock market, computers again . Vegas did as Mr. Wolff suggested and doesn’t allow computers. Wall Street, that’s another story. Horse racing’s future of humans versus computers seems to be pretty clear with a predictable outcome. It would be interesting to hear from some of the board watchers who follow Oaklawn closely where they apparently don’t allow the batch bettors and see what is going on there? You still have the issue of betting protocols for the public but at least they are all on someone equal terms of the pools. Every day players, can you show a greater profit percentage at a track like versus NYRA?
