Hot Topic: Should The Betting Windows Close At One Minute To Post Time?

In my last post I put out a poll question: Do you think that betting windows should close at 1 minute to post? As of the time of this writing, 83% of those who answered said yes.

I decided to pose the question to the vaster audience over at Pace Advantage. So far, over 63% of those who answered have voted yes. Now that crowd is full of sophisticated handicappers and bettors. It also has horsemen and racing execs as members. I mention this is because intuitively to horsemen and racing execs, shutting pools with 1 MTP means less money in the pools. But does it really?
