Is pool manipulation (i.e. putting a large bet in on a horse to encourage betting on other horses, and then cancelling all or most of the bet just before the race closes, so that the odds of the horse being bet on is inflated) illegal, or is it just an unethical thing that tracks or ADW's can't do anything about other than cancel the person's account?
I see this all too often, especially at greyhound races and at tracks with small wagering pools, and I've reported it to the host track on many occasions, but it doesn't seem to stop. i KNOW that they can find out where it's coming from, and if it's from an ADW account the ADW can certainly trace who is doing it from the wager ID's. All I can figure is that it's either not illegal to do this, or the tracks and/or ADW's just don't care. I know that PTC is vigilant about discouraging this.
Any answers would be appreciated.
