The following is a quote from Matt Hegarty\'s article entitled \"Industry coming to grips with fallout from computerized wagering\" in the DRF.
\"According to O'Rourke and Cummings, the industry should be looking at the creation of off-the-shelf tools that could give players a better chance at competing against the CRWs. Those could include applications that simulate the CRW's own analyses, the broadcast of real-time imputed final odds, and artificial-intelligence tools.
"With the democratization of AI, does that allow us to develop some tools that would provide some balance to the other side?" O'Rourke said.\"
This is not the first time I have read or heard people suggesting that the solution to non-CRW-handicapper losses is to give them better tools for wagering, etc. to allow them to compete with the teams. In my mind, trying to turn horse race wagering into a battle of the computers is a fool\'s errand. Lose the parents who teach their children how to read and analyze past performances in the Daily Racing Form or patterns on the TG sheets, or the friends who do the same for friends, and you lose the game.
It also doesn't solve the problem. It's a BS answer, the equivalent of saying you'll form a committee to study something, or Facebook saying "we know we have work to do". It's a load of crap that will never happen and wouldn't work if it did.
The solution is obvious, they need to take away the advantages the CAW guys have. But nobody wants to be the first to have their handle numbers drop.
They could try limiting the amount of money any one entity can bet within the last 3 minutes.
Say 10-15k (NYRA)
This would reduce some of their arbing advantage and let you bet into their play or avoid underlays. . If they want to put 75k into the pool they have to do it sooner .
Not a perfect solution, but something better than the last punch edge they have now
