Racetracks can tell us that the pools are closed at the bell. But Mike Maloney has stated he had proof when he did the Bet with the Best Podcast that pools have been left open for significant portion of races at times. So we can't take them at their word.

So, when a retail bettor is aggrieved by the Odds Drop and the odds on the screen on the backstretch are 7-2 with a horse stalking in 2nd and then when they hit the wire and the horse has won and the horse is now 2-1, a gambler can file a petition alleging that the pools were not closed in time as an aggrieved party. Between the past history of pools being left open combined with the video proof that the odds are less after the race has started would surely be enough to survive a Motion to Dismiss.

Add in a Count in the petition about treating the CRW's unequally by not applying the mandated takeout to all their customers also.

And then, at least on count 1 if we survive a Motion to Dismiss, we can get into Discovery. And let's find out if the CAW's or CRW's are putting bets in after the bell. Does their Extra access entitle them to an extra 22 seconds into a race? There have been enough of these that end up fortuitous to make one wonder that this isn't just technology being slow. Plus we all know we can't trust these folks running the tracks. They have made it beyond obvious by now.

Someone needs to say enough is enough and we are going to get to the bottom of what goes on in these pools. Find out about CRW's percentage of handle, Find about the deals between the tracks and the teams exactly, find out the names of everyone involved, find out every detail we can . . . all through discovery in this lawsuit. Something tells me that this would make some real problems for the folks involved and possibly straighten some things out.

In particular, one company probably is the 1st one that should be considered as a Defendant although I've seen it even last week at Oaklawn. It was a blatant example where the odds shift was never anticipated based on any of the projected odds and no one would ever see it based on the PP's and the connections.

Someone that bets LARGE needs to file this suit with a specific example that they can show using their ADW and just video evidence of the odds drop. Tell me the downside for someone taking a shot at this to get to discovery.
