Here's a quote from today's DRF:
"Offshore, where bookmakers frequently cap payoffs, it was a different story for
some. One bettor with an account with World Sports Exchange, located in
Antigua, posted a message on a newsgroup under the handle Pnishthm,
complaining that he had hit the Derby exacta, but that the exacta payoffs were
capped at 100-1. World Sports Exchange also caps trifecta payoffs at 300-1."
I would never have bet that exacta through an offshore bookmaker. I can see betting the straight pools offshore, but not exotics.
