Plenty of advantages. Offshore action won't change the odds (in horse racing). A place like Betfair lets you bet against horses, as well as lock in your odds in an exchange format. The IRS isn't looking over your shoulder. An outfit like 5D will give you an extra 10 percent for a win.
5Dimes is a good enough sports book. They never differentiate themselves from others by creating their own rules in sports. And so it never even occurred to me that they might have a horse racing rule where they would be the
only book not to pay. Obviously, I would have placed my bet elsewhere had I been aware of this rule. Anyway, I moved on from 5D. I don't have time to check their rules every day or week, and I want to be able to
expect that the rules are the same as everywhere else.
