They are in the business of managing wagering risk.  They deserve to go out of business if they are not good at it.

That's precisely my point. And restrictions (either by bet or by bettor) are pretty much the only risk management tool open to them (there aren't futures contracts they can buy to hedge their risk). If they follow the Brodie prescription and eschew such restrictions, then the risk premium they charge would have to go up considerably, i.e., the odds would be significantly shorter on all horses. 

Or, to put it in Econ 101 terms, there is no free lunch. Everything comes at a cost.
