The big issue is that some people do not have access to the ability to make these bets yet have to live with the payouts that others do, patently unfair. If the pools were separate then you have a valid argument.
I dont even see a comparison between speed figures and a computer batch betting program.
And all that is beyond if this is good for the overall health of the sport, which its not.

Their edge is being able to analyze the pools.
If *I* am able to write a program that automatically bets for me after analyzing pool data, then IT'S NOT THAT IMPOSSIBLE.
Sure, these guys are doing it on a much more advanced level, but it's still basically the same thing.
I DID IT.
That means it's not so impossible to acquire...
The HARD PART is writing a program that actually is able to make a profit. The hard part IS NOT writing a program that reads data and makes bets.
That's the EASY part.
Their edge isn't being able to bet at the last second. Anyone can do that.
