Dear Statuette,
You said NYC OTB, and I disputed that. My apologies, it came to me overnight, that this is just like the Catskill OTB.
Anybody here remember Donald Groth? That was the wisenheimer at Catskill OTB who defended the Fix Six Fraudsters as legitimate betting customers.
Mind you, this Groth-character is somebody who saw nothing strange or unusual that somebody made a $12 pick six bet on a combo that took down the whole pool (i.e. they could have gotten the same payout for a sixth of the bet). This is like the kosher seller of pork. Only a person who doesn't bet would somehow think the fix sixers were normal legitimate customers. Anybody who knows anything about betting would have smelled a rat right away.
The point that is obvious is that NYRA and NYRABets are run by ignoramuses and you have to be a jackass if you would be willing to trust these morons to hold your hard earned money.
Sincerely,
