They should make a new wager where you can bet on the final time of a race down to the 1/100 of a second.

It would involve some skill, it would attract some sucker money, and the payoffs would be good.

They cant even accurately time races yet? TB clock is busted. The SPA clock at 6.5f's is wrong per you and see whack times all the time. The lawsuit would be daily

I wasn't exactly serious - but what the hell...

Use Randy Moss's fancy videotape equipment as the deciding factor.

I would assume that it's going to be along the lines of a twin tri or tri-super where you have exchanges based on how many times you hit the prior leg.

If I'm right, then say you have 20 to win on the winner of the first leg. You now have 40 exchanges to play the exacta. If you choose to play just one combination then you have 40 exchanges to play the trifecta. So on and so forth.

The obvious impediments are that not every tote system (specifically the non-AmTote systems) are going to be able to handle this and I know from working as a mutuel clerk that the average one has no idea how to handle a wager like this.

I didn't get that impression.

To me - it sounded like a wager you'd call out:

50 cent Slider:

3
With
4-2
With
8-3-1
With
5-6-1-4

Yeah, I think you're right. That's painfully stupid.
