They really don't have the ability to track every wager, not in any quick way at least and not without cooperation of lots of 3rd parties.
Tracks cannot see the actual wagers being made into their pools unless they request that information and most times its not searchable (lucky if its not just a printed PDF file).
There WAS a system being designed to do that, but it was expensive and relied on parties with no benefit from it to pay for it.
Tracks see total amounts bet from each source and most have 50+ sources betting into any one track. (and there could be sources betting into each of those)
The current systems are NOT transparent and never will be until they are rebuilt from the ground up. However again, that is extremely expensive, would take years and there is no one in this industry that I'm aware of willing to expend that many resources. (if they even have them)
Anyone here willing to pony up a few million dollars with an absolute guarantee you won't get it back? (tote providers dont really make much money)
