The idea that professional bettors---people with a low margin of error, who bets millions of dollars a year---are jockeying for position at a mutuel window and then getting mad because they can't cancel a bet with three seconds to post instead of one second is totally absurd. If anyone knows a professional who is not only betting live at the track without a rebate but is relying on cancelling or getting in bets in one second instead of three and getting shut out, have him post here. Then I'll believe it's costing racetracks millions of dollars in handle.
