What is cumbersome about it?
I could call a person that works in the mutuel department at Keeneland and ask them how much their handle was from, as an example, Cantebury Park on Saturday. They could give me the amount almost immediately. With a slight delay they could tell me what they handled on the QE II race. With another slight delay they could tell me what they handled in the WPS pools on that race.
For the purpose of on track wagering they could tell me which tote machine handled the most money on the day, how much was handled on that machine within the last two minutes of wagering of a specific race, how much was accounted for by a specific bettor. See where I'm going?
Sure an upgrade to the system would make the process of tracking wagers more seamless, however the current system still does have that capability, regardless of how archaic the system may be. It can be done, every wagering dollar, regardless of the pool it is intended for, HAS to be accounted for, it IS every race track's, simulcast venue or ADW provider's livelihood.
