Bettors sue US horse racing operators over alleged pool manipulation
A class-action lawsuit filed in the US District Court for the Eastern District of New York accuses racetrack operators and betting data firms of manipulating pari-mutuel pools. The complaint alleges that computer-assisted wagering users received privileged data access, rebates and lower fees; Hagens Berman is seeking treble damages and reforms.
The allegations challenge how operators and data firms manage betting access and pool payouts.
