If so, what do they try to figure out about this? What's their angle?
If not, why not? |

Date: May 20th, 2024 11:16 AM Author: vibrant location electric furnace Seems like something you could have figured out in 1860.
How about something like analyzing the horses' gaits with high speed cameras and computer programs? |

Date: May 20th, 2024 11:16 AM Author: contagious citrine step-uncle's house gaming laptop It has already been taken over by Computer Assisted Wagering teams or CAWs. It may end up killing the sport, because CAWs make up an enormous amount of the handle bet in ordinary races. It is very similar to computers betting against computers now, and unless there are sucker actual people involved there is no sucker to beat.
All the normal people hate it, particularly because the CAW teams get special rebates on their wagers and special access to information and ways to bet. It is crooked as hell. Many of the CAWs are affiliated with race tracks. I tried to get EPAH to sue them. |

Date: May 20th, 2024 11:17 AM Author: vibrant location electric furnace are they just trying to arbitrage the lines?
what are the inputs the actually use? |
|
Date: May 20th, 2024 11:24 AM Author: contagious citrine step-uncle's house gaming laptop It's only arbitrage to the extent that the CAW teams get rebates from the tracks. To profit, the CAWs still need to be profitable bettors.
At a normal track, the takeout or take that goes to the track as a percentage of the handle might be 18 percent. If the CAWs get a 10 percent rebate for each dollar bet, they are have an advantage versus normal human players.
They use algorithms and have computers to make wagers. I don't know all the details for their inputs. Some people say they are allowed to bet after the gate has opened. |

Date: May 20th, 2024 11:26 AM Author: Useless resort Are CAWs active even in small dollar races, like harness racing? Do their bets typically come in at the last second before the race starts? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5530234&forum_id=2:#47676511) |
|
Date: May 20th, 2024 11:26 AM Author: contagious citrine step-uncle's house gaming laptop Yes and yes. Although there is less dumb money to take at smaller tracks. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5530234&forum_id=2:#47676514) |
|
Date: May 20th, 2024 11:28 AM Author: contagious citrine step-uncle's house gaming laptop Due to complaints, some circuits have barred CAWs from making last minute wagers in some pools but it is common to see a winner's odds drop dramatically during the race due to last minute wagers.

Date: May 20th, 2024 11:16 AM Author: magical plum voyeur faggot firefighter has anyone studied the statistical performances based on how much the horse shits pre-race?
Seems like a good amount of shitting would lighten the carrying weight to some degree.
can betters access this information? |
|
Date: May 20th, 2024 11:19 AM Author: vibrant location electric furnace lol, yeah, or figure out how much the horse has eaten/slept in the past 48 hours or whatever. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5530234&forum_id=2:#47676491) |

Date: May 20th, 2024 11:26 AM Author: contagious citrine step-uncle's house gaming laptop Some people say a horse shitting during a post parade is good luck, but I am unaware of any statistical analysis.
In am ordinary race, the horses are pumped up with lasix which is a diuretic with a goal to make them lighter. |

|
Date: May 20th, 2024 11:33 AM Author: contagious citrine step-uncle's house gaming laptop Its banned in 2 year old races and in graded stakes, but it is almost always used when it can be.
The therapeutic purpose is the prevent horses from having their lungs bleed while their are exerting themselves. Some horses are bleeders and need it. |

Date: May 20th, 2024 12:26 PM Author: Flatulent base what about for the 3yr olds at the various 3xcrown events? is that a 'graded stake'? not familiar with the industry terms (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5530234&forum_id=2:#47676724) |
|
Date: May 20th, 2024 12:39 PM Author: contagious citrine step-uncle's house gaming laptop Lasix isn't permitted in any of the Triple Crown races. They are graded stakes. They are grade 1 races which are the most prestigious class. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5530234&forum_id=2:#47676758) |

Date: May 20th, 2024 4:31 PM Author: contagious citrine step-uncle's house gaming laptop When I started, I always played pick 5s because of the allure of big hits. I very rarely play pick 5s anymore. Just on big days.
Now I almost exclusively make straight win bets.
I have never been into vertical exotics like exactas, trifectas, and supers. Very rarely I might play an exacta.
The CAWs are in all the pools so there is probably no reason to change what wager you would make in response to them. People can beat the CAWs, so that is the long-term goal.
If you just know how all the different wagers work and basic strategy, that should impress people. Horse Racing for Dummies is a great book. |
