TVG employees must have been too busy scouring accounts to find $137 show bets

What does seeded back into the pool even mean?

I'd guess it means TVG (or some combination of contractual agreement between TVG and the host track for these situations) pay/seed the ~$42k back into the pool.

So it would effectively act the same as a 42k 'carryover'.

Technically it's the right thing to do, given that in some cases players will check the pool size of a wager like the P-6 before partaking or to scale their wagers. I don't think this specific pool size was something a bunch of players were watching, being a non-carryover and opening day on a Thurs for a premium meet.


Of course, it's horse racing, so I don't necessarily trust logic to carry through an explanation, or that the media release is necessarily accurate.

Ouch! Especially if it cost TVG all or part of the $42k in addition to pissing off a bunch of people who played p6 through that adw

Are there states where TVG is the only option? I’m struggling with trying to figure out why people don’t go elsewhere

You wonder if any of the players would have hit the P6 but instead got a refund. The "seeding" doesn't help them.

Right. Would have increased the payoff to the non TVG winners and hosed the ones who hit it with TVG and got a refund

New Jersey for one, but if I want to bet football I have 20 or more choices, makes a lot of sense doesn't it?

If you move to Las Vegas you can't even have an account with TVG. These casinos force you to play with a mobile account without having any access to a phone account. These casinos got you by the throat if you live in Nevada.
