Do you not agree that 3 to 4 seconds is enough time to adjust/cancel your bet if a horse(s) acts up at the gate or if a standardbred breaks yards before the start ?? Do you understand that this can not be done if you are seeing these events 5 seconds later than the guy at the track ?? If you are a multi- race bettor and/or does not care about body language I can understand your point. But if you rely on odds and body language every second counts - 5 is just too much for me ....
Not sure if you attend a simulcast betting location. If you do, you will notice that a great number of people bet on several tracks at a time and tend to bet seconds before post time especially when 2 or 3 tracks are loading at the same time. Naturally frustration sets in when they inevitably get shut out frequently.....I witness this all the time.
