because there is CASH involved. when many serious players boycotted HIA because of the 25% take, some bettors came in and picked up whatever value was left. for a while, anyway. it is the nature of the beast to gain every and any advantage possible.
i remember being at Sportsman's Park one day and a guy next to me spotted a trainer pounding somebody else's horse at the windows. the guy goes running up to a security guard to make a report. the security guard proceeded directly to the window and bets on the same horse.
so it goes.
