In the spirit of the poker slots exploit and the Ocean's Eleven viewing, here's an old story about hacking the Hong Kong racetrack.

In Hong Kong, computer-assisted teams are not illegal, but the Jockey Club frowns on the practice, and some bettors claim the HKJC has shut down their accounts after it discovered they were connected to teams. "I'm running out of trustworthy people to hold accounts for me," half-gripes, half-brags one Australian bettor. While complaining that his wife's account was canceled, he is well aware of the professional gambler's credo: If they're not throwing you out, you're doing something wrong.
