Root I am going on a limb is this pick 3

$20 pick 3

Leg A - 8
Leg B - 4
Leg C - 1-4-6

That 15 horse was 7-1 when they left the gate and then he clicks down to 7/2. That is unreal.

Wasn't that horse 6-1 going into the gate? Gets a great break and is 7-2 crossing the line. Since the 1st horse got loaded about 2 minutes before the 14th horse, can't we let the 14 stand in the gate for 10 seconds until the odds are finalized? I'll never understand why the horses can't stand in the gate until all pools are in, and the starter can't spring the gate until this happens.

Someone dumped a boatload on that 15 horse at the last minute.

whodey I was typing and didn't see your post. I agree and am sick of it. I refuse to believe someone doesn't have an advantage past posting after the break.

I remember when there was a time tracks stopped taking bets with 2 minutes to post. I believe this was right after that pick 6 scandal. I can handle a click in odd from like 7/2 to 3-1 but to go from 7-1 to 7/2 is insane.

Yes, after the scandal they closed wagering after the first horse was loaded I believe. In this day and age there is no reason why they can't have the technology in place to not allow the starter to spring the gates until all the pools are in.

I dont know...what an outlet is having a problem then the horses are just standing there waiting. I think they should close the pools before they enter the horses into the gate.

I think it is a design flaw/choice to only transmit every 15 seconds or so, instead of every wager being transmitted instantly. This probably had to be done this way 10-15 years ago when simulcasting was made available nationwide to all tracks/OTB and the technology/bandwidth wasn't available to be instantaneous.

I'm an EE/CS and design applications with ethernet communications between Windows CE and industrial controllers. I'm sending/receiving 1000 bytes of information and updating the Windows CE display in 50 milliseconds.

It comes down to cost like anything else and if everyone thinks it's acceptable the tracks won't change/pay to have the system upgraded. Thats my opinion.

Well you certainly know more than I so I am on board with your thinking.

The good news is I'm alive to the 1,2,4,13 in the Pk4 on a $48 ticket.

I am alive to the 1-5-6-13 so lets both takes this thing down.
