<HR style="COLOR: #fdde82" SIZE=1><!-- / icon and title --><!-- message -->I just got off the phone with WSEX.... Initially I thought maybe smokey had a point, now while I empathize with his position, however, this is what I discovered:
1) the reason they have the sentence on the top of the page is not for false advertising, but rather to inform the customer. If the odds have changed on a horse & a horse goes from say 10-1 to 5-1, they are trying to advise their customers that their bet goes off at the TRACK odds, not the MORNING odds. That is the reason for the sentence. It is not to try to false advertise. It is actually to try to inform.
2) There is a PARA-MUTUAL Pool, NO BOOKIE who is not part of this pool could afford to give out TRUE TRACK ODDS as they could be sunk overnite with a 10$ bet. Certain Bookies, who are part of the POOL, may have this luxury, but most do not. IF they paid TRUE TRACK odds without being part of the pool they would be sunk overnite.
3) WSEX has never been challenged on this sentence in the past 10 years.
4) Anybody who regularily plays horses knows that this is how 95% of online sportsbooks run their racebooks, again, read # 2, if they are not part of the pool they could sink themselves overnite. There might be a few that can absorb the risk or are part of the pool but 95% of them cannot & do not.
5) Anybody who does not bet horses regularily should be reading the rules before placing a wager. There was a link on the very same page on the bottom left showing the rules.
