Betting Monitor Needed
In two years, eight instances of past-posting involving New York races. In one test of live data from three races in 2007, a series of bet cancellations after the break in one. Last fall, past-posting at the Fair Grounds, as reported by bettor Mike Maloney. Since September 2007, analysis of pool data from 40 tracks reveals patterns suggestive of suspicious activity. Yes, I’d say it’s time for an independent wagering monitor and a modern tote system.
