By scanning values during the betting of race 8, the bot just sees the pools are out of whack, and fixes them. No handicapping involved.
Your scenario would fit my example 2 more than bot involvement.

It depends on your definition of Bot. I took it to be an automated computer based wagering process. Not the idea of a single program looking at pricing mismatches.
