Bobby Geiger,
All things being equal, that is the best post here or anywhere in a long time, IMO.I am fairly weLl versed and would like to ask you a couple of questions.
1.You mention the computer scans all exacta wagers and looks for overlays relative to the horses chances and then makes multiple wagers at the last few seconds, ETC.
Regarding the above, I was lead to believe that the computer just looked for situations where the player would break even or lose a small percentage of the total wager and then collect the rebate to make his profit.I'm saying that I thought it made no difference who the horses were or what their ability was. This SCAM is a math thing not a horse/handicapping thing, isn't it??
2.I am receiving a rebate and I really do not see any reason why this is wrong.Except for the COMPUTER GEEKS, most of the normal rebate players are betting the money rebated right back into the pools and therefore right back into the game.
Without question, the COMPUTER GEEKS that are skimming off the top must be stopped or else they will end up with all the money eventually and ther will be no game as we now know it.I know some of the largest rebate bettors in NEW YORK(not computer players) who WILL be approaching Barry Schwartz to stop selling the signal to anyone allowing the COMPUTER GEEKS access or they WILL NOT play NY any longer.
I think if all players stand together against the COMPUTER GEEKS then maybe other main venues will do what OAKLAWN did.
