Full Track Odds and Cash Back

[Myron]

It seems every book now is offering full track odds and rebates on bets made - pinnacle, ehorse, gameday etc.

Does anyone know how they are able to do this? It's also clear that they are somehow betting into the track tote although I thought no United States company would allow betting at offshore books. I noticed for example at ehorse you can bet right to the last second and as soon as the gate swings open and the bell rings there is a message stating "can't fetch ticket". So obviously the company is trying to buy a ticket from the track and gets shut out like any better at the track would. How do they bet into the pools? Do they have a linkup with autotote and are getting the 15% take that would usually go to the track which allows them to offer the rebate?

I'm just curious.

my guess it's simple , business is good , they take it from their profit

Yeah but I'm more curious how they're able to bet right into the track pools with a live toteboard up to the second. I doubt very much someone is sitting there closing the bets as the gate swings open on every track they offer. Has to be somehow tied into the live tote system offered at OTB's.

I'm curious,why do you want to know?

 

[bryanz]

maybe they are not betting into the tote,but have some program that closes the race so that, a wiseguy on the inside is also closed out. remember a few years back, guys on inside, took it to otb & offshore books...
