My community (horse racing) is also very active on Twitter. However, I find it highly beneficial to stay abreast of the latest news, and have a chuckle from time to time.<p>Yesterday a certain horse was confirmed for a certain race (Smad Place in the King George chase at Kempton on December 26th). I picked up the information on Twitter and was able to place a bet immediately at 14&#x2F;1. The price on Smad Place in this race is now 10&#x2F;1, 9&#x2F;1 in places. It was quickly adjusted down by most bookmakers within 10 minutes of the announcement.<p>Twitter really is a valuable medium to me. I want to hear about things 5 seconds after they&#x27;ve been announced!
