Bridgejumpers Gone
Does anybody else seem to think that the bridgejumpers at Mountaineer, Charlestown,and Prairie Meadows have disappeared?
I got sacked by ADW this week and wondered if the ADW's cleaned up their accounts and got rid of all the people who "take advantage of the current parimutuel system".
I understand, they make the rules, and can do what they want. But, they really should not take the bets if they are just going to can you for making them.

in all of racing, the show pools have had the most growth over the last 5 years.

I never understood why people bet dollars to win dimes.

Because great players in Wall St are extremely successful getting the same percentage in 2 years.

the anti bridgjump payoffs have been pretty lousy as a whole. i have no idea why a group of people would bet the so cal one today, but i do understand why the money came in against him. i guess the reason why i have been seeing such rotten payoffs is because the money on the bridgejump horse has no solid reason to get bet to begin with.

I suspect there are more 'anti-bridge jumpers' correcting the pools before the off, so that it is more difficult to get $10+ pay-offs when the jumper misses.

They're investing a lot more than 2 dollars.

Those guys aren't betting dollars to win pennies.

Yesterday, in the opener at Finger Lakes, there was over 91K wagered on Brewing to show. He crushed on a big class drop. I have a feeling they will be pouring the money in on Breakin The Fever in today's 7th race.

aside from you being a tremendous announcer, you also have some great intuition!

I just went to the chart of his last 2 races and the total WPS pools were not that large, 64k and 54k respectively.

Thanks Lambo for the compliment. So much for the intuition as the race is down to 4 horses killing the show pool. With the way this season is going I should have shown the intuition to predict the scratch.

Yes the TVG guy called it a minor Bridge Jumper. A 29 to 1 shot payed $34 to show. $24 on 21 to 1 shot. Not sure that is a "minor" bridge jumper. I did not look at the show pool.
