That in much the same way that tracks who decide they're going to slash takeout then put the squeeze on the bet-taking outlets scattered all over, and in completely different jurisdictions.
It's easy to make willy-nilly choices when you're the increasingly-tiny end that is the place with the live race. But of course nobody doing that ever has the big picture in mind.

FALSE, The ADW offered the wager as it was on its menu, NYRA Bets routinely eliminates the option to make a show wager on potential minus pools. TVG chooses to put the onus on the bettor to determine if the pool has the potential to be negative. That's my issue with this. IF A WAGER is available on the board it's not my responsibility to determine if it will effect the bottom line of the bet taker. The problem is it's not my wager making the pool negative so how is it my responsibility to have to determine that and then say oh sorry I don't want the good people at TVG running a business to take a loss so I better forgo my own winnings for the sake of Big Business.
If they don't want me to bet it, be proactive and turn off that wager like NYRA Bets does. Don't have bean counters scan bets 2 weeks after there made and say oh you know what we didn't profit on every bet made we made 14% of 3700 but twice we had to pay $30 and that means our profits weren't as high as they could be the whole while neglecting the fact that I wouldn't of bet the 3700 in other bets if I don't make all the plays
I would totally understand if the only bets I was making on the platform were large minus pool wagers.
