This seems strange. If the bet is placed with an ADW, don’t they pass it off to the track? If not I shouldn’t show in the pools.
the money goes into the pools. but the venue where the bet was made must pay for the minus pool
this all began around 2001 when " net pool pricing" went into effect
before that happened--you would see all three horses pay $2.10 to show--and much bigger blowups than todays game-nowadays some longshots pay $4 to show or more to show if the heavy fave hit the board-- however this prevents the larger blowups
Kassa Branca was a famous huge one at Freehold--he blew up twice big time--once at Freehold and later that year at Garden St
