People tend to consistently ignore small differences in probabilities and generalize as if the expected outcome for either option is the same."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["We are going to have a fixed odds product similar to the exchange without the marketing heft the exchange had and we're going to launch it even more content poor than the exchange since the big 3 have been mum and their past performances would suggest there's no way they’d do a deal now. It is set up for failure. There were years and years of discussion in racing if they should embrace the exchange. That debate is largely over. It's not even talked about anymore. I suspect fixed odds will go the same way ... I don't want to say that 'racing' is at a critical stage. The critical stage has largely passed. It was the 20 year period between the advent of ADWs and before sports betting that saying 'NO' to everything leads us to the place we are now, which is not a good place."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Gentlemen of the Racing Form ads, I have been going to the races for almost half a century, very likely longer than any of you. I almost certainly have been to more racetracks (about 60) and seen more races (about 20,000) than any of you. I happen to have a lifetime profit on the horses, something I doubt that any of you can truly claim. But if anybody offered me $30 or $40 or an unspecified fee to show him how to make money betting the horses, I would say: Forget it. Anybody who tries to get rich handicapping is crazy. It can't be done. There are no systems. Playing the horses is an entertainment, like going to the movies, and you have to pay the admission fees. What's great about betting on horses is not that you can make money at it but that it's more fun and cheaper in the long run than many pleasures. Like owning a boat. Or traveling in Europe." (Saved for mentions of Frederick Davis' patterns and Tom Ainslie's private method.)]]></description>

Far from it. But the prospect of races being able to go on while other sports are forced to shut down could equate to an economic lifeline that keeps the game breathing above the virus flood when it otherwise would be drowned by it."]]></description>

The only sound was the hum of a dozen computers. Bill Benter and an associate named Paul Coladonato had their eyes fixed on a bank of three monitors, which displayed a matrix of bets their algorithm had made on the race—51,381 in all. Benter and Coladonato watched as a software script filtered out the losing bets, one at a time, until there were 36 lines left on the screens. Thirty-five of their bets had correctly called the finishers in two of the races, qualifying for a consolation prize. And one wager had correctly predicted all nine horses."]]></description>

Win, place, show, and exacta wagering has to become more attractive. The major tracks can come together and agree, for example, that on field sizes of six or less, takeout on these bet types is 14%. Fields of seven and eight, takeout is 15%. Fields of nine or higher, takeout is 17%. The totalizator companies have the flexibility to do this. The burden of taking this leap of faith, this industry bet on its own future, should not rest on one track. It needs to be a shared vision."]]></description>

While it’s still a lot of money — that HK$106.1 billion ($13.6 billion) was almost 30 percent more than the total of the most-common type of betting on thoroughbreds in all of the U.S . —  gambling on horse racing has grown an anemic 1 percent a year on average for two decades."]]></description>

If the Player’s Pool is about entertainment for participants, there’s also been an education going by their results.  By scraping what’s made available on Twinspires’ website, I was able to cobble together results of all the Player’s Pools since October of last year (for pools before that, the archives are spotty and in some cases missing).  Since October 2016 and through this past weekend’s Derby, the Player’s Pool has collectively wagered $501,847.70 with a return of $251,260.24.  Accounting for taxes of $40,383.00 on those returns, the Player’s Pool has lost $290,970.46, losing $3 for every $5 wagered."]]></description>

It’s a nice, clean place with extremely friendly employees. It is with some sadness that I tell you that this particular OTB, along with some others in the state, is scheduled to shut its doors for good in the coming week or two. From what I hear, the OTBs in Newark and Auburn will remain open. In addition, due to contract issues at Finger Lakes ... simulcasting and betting of races has been halted.

No one would ever have suspected these churchgoing, middle-aged women of illicit activity — which is precisely why they were hired. Rock, like most tracks during that era, made a big show of claiming to want no part of any illegal 'comeback money' that might find its way through their mutuel machines. But, of course, management privately realized that the bookies’ tainted twenties were the same color as the rest of the bills that flooded the pools, and lady bet-runners from all corners of the region knew to proceed directly to a specific window where expedited service had been pre-arranged between influential parties."]]></description>

Legendary plungers had always been drawn to horseflesh, but the handicapper signified something different from the likes of such easy come, easy go speculators as John Warne Gates, whose large wager on an English race gained him the nickname 'Bet a Million' Gates. The handicapper was by contrast a stealthy and enterprising contrarian bestowed with hard-won knowledge, patience, and an eye for opportunity. In a sport and culture rife with con artists and touts, he made his money fair and square, which is what linked him in the imagination with the self-possessed business tycoon. Both shared the gospel that hard work, not luck, was what separated winners and losers."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Over the past two weeks, many horseplayers have expressed curiosity over how the platform works and have indicated that they have successfully placed bets on horses at higher odds on the exchange than the odds through the parimutuel system, leading to significant price advantages. But others have also expressed trepidation with the prospect of laying odds on a horse, in large part because the practice is unfamiliar, but also because the liability of laying a horse generally exceeds the return."]]></description>

Roughly, the computer-assisted bettor did not wager much unless the house's take was fairly small. While no one wagers much when the take is high, the effect was especially pronounced here because of this player's sophisticated strategies. Changing the take affects the wagering amount trade-off previously discussed, a point which our small-time players didn't consider. Since the computer-assisted bettor had a lot of money, the house was forced to lower its fee."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["... the average age of a Betfair racing patron is the late 30’s, whereas in horse racing it’s about 20 years senior to that. The Betfair customer is mobile and app friendly, loves technology, and is a stats geek who’s drawn to wagering for profit. As well, Betfair attracts those who trade the market, just like you’d trade a stock exchange. Selling a horse at 2-1 and buying him back at 3-1 is no different than picking up 100 shares of AAPL at $101 and selling them at $103. This is very positive because these are exactly the types of players racing needs. Handicapping and wagering is a skill betting game, but racing does a poor job embracing it. Betfair, and exchanges, force racing to confront this problem, and offers it a new market to sell to, through a medium customers like. In the long-run, this not only involves hopefully increasing revenue from wagering, but selling nights out at the track, new horse ownership and building new fans, too. What else is good is that exchanges are a form of fixed odds wagering."]]></description>

This is where your ability to get as close to a live video feed as possible is the difference between being a sucker and being good.  My video feeds for Tampa and Turf Paradise were well behind what was actually happening in the in-running market and this was obvious to me from the very first race I played in-running.  You can see who won the race based on the in-running market action well before whatever happens on the video feed.  This signals to me that the exchange tech is very good and that, as usual, the old streaming video tech is outdated.  Not sure what the answers are here to leveling the playing field but I didn’t feel like I was playing on one.  I believe there will be a major advantage to sitting at the track at Monmouth and playing in-running directly from the track."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["For tracks, the about $2 billion poured into pools last year by CRW players has not translated to big profits. Linnell said the percentage of total pari-mutuel handle going to tracks has never been lower, in large part because of the industry's embrace of rebating its largest-volume players. Linnell noted that nearly $5 billion has disappeared from Thoroughbred pari-mutuel pools since 2002, a trend that might lead many businesses to look at their pricing structure. But instead of lowering its takeout for all players, which would be a more attractive model to new- and medium-level horseplayers, the industry has taken the approach of rebating its very top players. That approach means that tracks receive less benefit from every dollar wagered by these players ... Linnell said there currently are about 21 CRW teams with the largest team accounting for 40% of CRW handle. Looking at the various percentages, that equates to about $750 million wagered in 2015 by that single CRW team. Linnell said the top three CRW teams account for 65% of CRW handle and the top six account for about 80% of the CRW handle."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Imagine that: A sport enjoys increasing popularity by telling people that they can bet on it. Imagine if there were a sport that had legal gambling built into it. Oh, wait. That would be horse racing. If there is anything in all of this for racing to learn, it is that there is an incredible public appetite for wagering, one that racing has failed to serve. For nearly a decade since the UIGEA stranded poker players and gave racing a virtual monopoly on online gambling, the sport failed to promote itself as a completely legal form of online gambling. Racing was too polite and dignified to advertise the gambling aspect, choosing instead the failed strategy of selling pageantry and backyard pony rides. Racing offers a better game than DraftKings or your local state lottery. It’s long past time to advertise that message to the fantastically gambling-happy American public."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["It was the early 1990s, just years before the federal prohibition on expanding sports betting was put into place. Manteris and Roxborough began to discuss bringing Vegas-style sports betting to horse racing tracks across the nation. The two influential Nevada figures travelled around, meeting with officials at race tracks like Laurel Park and Churchill Downs. They were making headway at Laurel Park in Maryland. The track had even begun construction of an on-site sports book, when the tone of the discussions changed suddenly. Horse racing powers-that-be got involved, teamed with the professional sports leagues and adamantly opposed sports gambling. The result was the Professional Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992, a federal statute that has prevented the expansion of sports betting in the U.S. 'It's the biggest blunder in the history of racing,' Manteris said."]]></description>

During that period, out of seven horses that won the Derby and Preakness, only one got to face a Belmont field that was smaller than eight. The greatest challenge occurred in 1971 when Cañonero II, after winning the Derby and Preakness, had to run the Belmont in a field of 13 horses. This was just two years before Secretariat won the Belmont as the favorite in a field of five. Secretariat was a better horse than Cañonero II, but he also had less competition."]]></description>

An increasing number of bets today are made  through advance-deposit wagering accounts or through vouchers at self-service machines. Breakage, the practice of rounding down (always down) payoffs to supposedly more-convenient dime increments, is, in fact, nothing but institutionalized theft from customers, with their rightful earnings directed to a slush fund ..."]]></description>

There has been much written about performance enhancing drugs in racing and there are studies and expert opinions that cover the spectrum of the issue. I have a simpler suggestion. Forget about reading all of those reports, and instead spend a few days at the racetrack with an intelligent horseplayer who bets serious money. Any sophisticated handicapper with significant wagers on U.S. races has developed their own opinions about who is cheating, and their own techniques to attempt to control for that factor in wagering decisions."      ]]></description>

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Today, racing suffers from the unintended consequences of the Act. Instead of protecting the interests of all, it has hobbled the industry’s once genuine effort to maintain, for the greater good, a delicate balance in the bargaining power of its primary stakeholders. In fact, the Act has caused a shift away from the uniform approach to interstate wagering envisioned by the framers of the legislation. The industry-supported federal legislation – intended to address economic concerns about how to grow wagering – has resulted three decades later in a deeply divided industry with competing interest groups fighting for shares of shrinking markets and increased state regulation."]]></description>

    <link>http://www.drf.com/news/lady-red-story-woman-and-bridge-jumpers</link>
    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["At first, the only clues to her cryptic comings and goings were the five-digit flashes that flickered to life on the tote board. But by the end of the season, the demure heavy hitter had gained a fervent national following – and unwanted scrutiny from track officials, who were powerless to stop her pari-mutuel pillaging.... According to the aura of mysticism, the Lady in Red at Rock was a 'lone wolfess' who operated strictly by herself. Or she was part of a massive betting syndicate. Or she worked with a partner who helped cash winning tickets and make a fast getaway. In short, the Lady in Red was whoever or whatever the public wanted her to be. Word had it that the Lady started the summer of ’44 with a $500 bankroll and by August had hit an implausible 110 show bets in a row. The Rock was rampant with gossip that she was a 'Robin Hood' horseplayer, taking money from the track’s rich coffers to give to the poor, which emboldened her image. But columnist John Lardner, the son of master storyteller Ring, set this rumor straight, tongue firmly in cheek: 'This, as I say, is a wishful point of view, for there is nothing in the reports ... to indicate that the poor of [the] community have got anything more out of the Lady in Red than the U.S. government has. And the government, as we went to press, was pursuing ladies in red coats, hats, shoes, or earmuffs up every alleyway in New England.' There was even some question over whether the Lady wore red at all."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["British racing operates on a funding model with longstanding flaws — among them the so-called levy mechanism, an arcane system whereby the industry receives an annual portion, around 10 percent, of bookmakers’ profits from racing bets. Each September, the British Horseracing Authority, the sport’s governing body, meets with bookmakers before a government arbiter and negotiates the total contribution for the following year. The B.H.A. allots about half of its take to prize money and much of the rest to integrity measures and personnel costs."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[“This is very simple — all forms of legalized wagering in the Commonwealth now have the same rule that is consistent with the [Internal Revenue Service’s] rules,” said state Senator Stanley Rosenberg, an Amherst Democrat and one of the architects of the 2011 Gaming Act. He added that there is no reason that winnings from horseracing should continue to be excluded from withholdings. “Now that we’ll have all three kinds of winnings,” from the state lottery, horseracing, and casinos, “it makes sense for the tax to be fairly and equally applied.”]]></description>

The decline signals a contraction in the account-wagering market for perhaps the first time. Combined with a slight increase for the third large account-wagering operator the overall 7.9 percent decline is the first significant quarter-to-quarter drop for the leading operators in the account-wagering sector, which has been the only growing component of the national wagering market over the past several years. The decline far exceeded a 1.8 percent contraction in race days during the quarter and was a significant component in an 8.5 percent decline in total wagering on U.S. races for the first three months of the year."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["The California takeout increase was touted as a way to increase the money from handle that went to purses, but all of the increase only goes to purses when the money is wagered in California. As Scott Daruty said at the California Horse Racing Board meeting on January 20, some outlets (e.g. TwinSpires) accepting wagers from outside California are paying as little as 50% of the increase to California purses. If those outlets (e.g. TwinSpires) are keeping the balance of the increase, then they very easily could pass that savings on to its biggest bettors in the form of a rebate."]]></description>
