I have seen this happen at many of the smaller tracks but MNR is the worst offender.
The bigger problem I'm seeing now is that the same shit is happening at NYRA and SoCal tracks. I think it is time for the feds to look into this and see wtf is going on. I am not a huge punter but this kind of activity is driving me away from the sport I love.

This the first post.
Everyone is hung up about CAWS's
I think a major factor is ADW's and when they put in the bets mad at their sites.
Years ago, I put in all my bets for Turf Paradise before the first race. When the pools came up or the 5th or 6th race my horse was 99-1. I checked the pools and the horse had $2 in the win pool. My $20 bet was placed two hours before. Twin Spires had not sent in the bets yet, probably waiting for enough money.
If ADW's send money in intervals, wouldn't the last dump be the largest of all? And using the example above, if many betters at the last minute saw 7-2 and decided to bet or add to their bet, the odds would drop.
I would guess the last drops of ADW's and the track's simulcast site would be more than 40% affecting odds on all bets.
