Yes, Everything�s Digital, Even Horse Racing � Software Out Now!
In this day and age, almost everything is run by computers. You buy a carton of milk at a store and it goes through a point of sale (POS) computer system. Somewhere in City Hall is a room with a mainframe computer that controls the city�s traffic lights. Even life can be run by computers in the form of life support systems in hospitals. So it should come as no surprise that a popular pastime like horse racing comes with its own horse racing software. It�s Alive! Contrary to popular belief, a computer doesn�t work on its own. It needs a little something called software to actually work. Without software, a computer is exactly what it looks like � a useless piece of metal and glass. This is the reason why different computers have different functions. Software runs the store�s POS system and the city�s traffic lights. In short, software gives life to the computer in order for it to actually do what its supposed to do. Playing With or Against Computers? The whole world is getting computerized and automated. Of course, not to be outdone, the gambling industry has to join the bandwagon. Slot machines, online poker, and sweepstakes � you name it, and there�s a casino that�s got it. You don�t even have to be in a casino to gamble anymore because you can do so at home. This is good news for gamblers. The good thing about automated gambling is the fact that most software are tamper-proof; therefore, the house can�t use its usual tricks to win against the gamblers, giving everyone better chances. Take horse racing software, for example. Decades ago, horse racing was a notoriously dirty sport. Odds and probabilities were incorrectly calculated. Bets were written on scraps of paper that can be easily tampered with. As a result, winners won small and losers lost big. Indeed, the only people who benefited were the hustlers, and they always got away with it. With the creation of horse racing software, however, everyone is on even ground, including the house. Horse racing software accurately calculated odds and probabilities. Horse racing software also provided for tamper-proof betting slips that can be printed on official paper as soon as bets were entered into the computer. Payouts are calculated accurately, so the winners got exactly what they deserved. Dawn of a New Age Indeed, the benefits of computers and software are plenty. The use of computers and software reap worthwhile rewards that can definitely be enjoyed and appreciated. Not only do computers and software make life easier for everybody, they also encourage honesty and fair play. Consider yourself fortunate to be living in such an age. You can relax knowing that the POS inventory made sure that your milk is fresh, that you�ll drive safely guided by functioning traffic lights, that you have a chance at life through machines that breathe for you until you can do it on your own, and even that you�ll never be cheated on a horse race ever again.
