It makes for very bad optics when similarly hefty last second win wagers make their way into the pool and don’t get reflected on screen for a few flashes, but there is nothing necessarily nefarious about it. It’s all about how their algorithms adjust for the inefficiencies between pools, and their ability to upload a variety of massive wagers right before the “bell”. I’m all for ways of figuring out how to fix the optics.

that's a tremendous explanation for the money that came in on the eventual winner the 4 horse. but it does not explain the $1500 that disappeared from the 1 entry from the start of the race to the finish of it.
