Ed Martin Monitor Quotations

When you negotiate contracts, you have the ability to tell them, 'We want you to hire an independent monitor for our wagering system, and we want in our contract the right to receive that information from the monitor.' The pari-mutuel industry is the only one I know of that doesn't require an independent monitor.

We have a responsibility to racing fans to ensure the security and integrity of each and every wager made. We seek to require each wagering entity to monitor its pools and to participate in a national monitoring system by regulators to investigate potential illegal activity that could cheat the bettors and undermine the participants (of pari-mutuel sports).
