RE: Is Horse Racing Rigged?

in #sportstalk4 years ago

How does a horse get odds of 300/1?
Someone's not running it to its full potential to manipulate the odds.
Few years ago was 2 guys had a stable. Lost races for months. Then one day when there horses were 10/1-20/1 they came to England places bets on there horses took bookies for 2 million but bookies couldn't prove anything everyone knows what happened.
Its so rigged it's untrue.

Sort:  

I don't know about that story, because that's just terrible risk management by the bookies and they deserve to lose money.

The whole idea of the bookie business model is to get as close to a green book as possible, meaning they win no matter what the outcome of the actual race.

They'll sometimes do their own analysis and be overweight certain favourites, but if they didn't lay their risk off with someone else on those long shot runners, then that was their decision and they fucked themselves.

Yeah for sure.
The odds don't make sense most of the times and are mostly in the bookies favour.
Sports in general are rigged as hell.
Whenever money is involved the fiddle factor is just around the corner.
John Higgins snooker got done for match fixing.
Think about how many others have gambling additions. Mark King confessed gambler.
Football Man City played Girona pre season friendly. Girona 18/1 to win and they won 1 nil.
Girona owned by Guardiolas brother coincidence?
I had £100 coz someone told me else would have missed it.
Have a look at the current Wigan Athletic relegation situation amazing story.
Could find you numberous examples in all sports and that's the ones that get caught out imagine how many get away with it.
