Racing Management does not have a problem with taking all of the increased revenue that is generated from simulcasting only with spending some of it on upgrading their networks and equipment in order to provide an accurate tote board.
Racing wants to increase its' fan base. These new fans may not know what the pay out on 9-5 is or how much the take is, but everyone understands and expects that the odds don't change after the race starts. The best way I can think of to turn off new fans is to continue to give the appearance that there is something crooked going on
How about this
If they don't want to fix the problem then make a rule that when the race goes off the odds are frozen by the host track and any bets in the pipeline are the responsibility of the sending wagering hub to pay at the official off odds. In other words the simulcasting sites have to eat the difference. Give ya 9-5 that it won't take them very long to upgrade the equipment if this was required.
