How Computer-Assisted Wagering (CAW) is wrecking the thoroughbred horse racing industry.

How Computer-Assisted Wagering (CAW) is wrecking the thoroughbred horse racing industry.

Computer-Assisted Wagering (CAW) is a process where sophisticated betting groups use algorithmic models and real-time data to place large volumes of strategic bets on horse races. These teams employ advanced technology to submit "thousands of individual bets in the final seconds before post time," using real-time odds information to fine-tune their positions while keeping their activity hidden from the broader betting public. The result? A better may see a race "start" at 8/1 odds only to finish at 9/2 after the last minute CAW bets hit the board. Hundreds of dollars may instantly "disappear" from the bettor's pocket. And yes, it's akin to stealing money from the public.
