Likely hood.............maybe, maybe, not impossible.
3) Combo of crowd and committed bettors throw this horse into their DDs and P3 combos as a "most likely alternative" to the main contenders, horse gets neglected in the win pool, bot picks up on it. Likely hood............better bet than the other two.

Either the bots are in use or they are not, generally...would like someone who knows for sure to step up and say so...if that is the case, and the bots are in play then we must assume that they are in play for a large percentage of racing, draining value out of the parimutuel pools...though I don't know if this is legal, it certainly is not fair to the rank and file bettors (But hey, who cares about fairness, right...? (stinking liberals)...)
Does anyone really know for sure, and how pervasive robo-wagers are....?
