I think the folks on this list would get a kick out of this story:

from the text:

My father ... put together a system of Teletype equipment and other
electronic components (to) withhold (horse) race results for about 90
seconds, during which time they would flash the winners to co-workers,
who would place illegal off-track bets in other parts of the country.
For example, ... my father tried out the system in Arizona and
withheld all the race results coming into Southern California. They
cleaned up.
