I have one question: Are these bots always right?
I read the stories all the time about a horse that is 13/1 at post and when the race is over he's 5/1. In this game if a horse gets hammered with late money doesn't another horse (or horses) have to go up in odds? I never hear a story about a guys horse that was 5/1 at post and when they crossed the wire he was 13/1. Seems like it's got to happen. When odds on some horse or horses go down others have to go up. If these bot guys are so good that they only pick winners, they don't need rebates to get rich. Surely we can't all be betting on the same horse.
Also if this bot betting bothers you, you can take your business to a less bot friendly track. The bot guys shouldn't be a problem at some of the lower rebate or no rebate tracks if these guys are depending on rebates to be profitable.
