Parimutuel betting
Parimutuel betting (from the
French language: pari mutuel, mutual betting) is a betting system in which all bets of a particular type are placed together in a pool; taxes and a house
take are removed, and payoff odds are calculated by sharing the pool among all placed bets. The parimutuel system is used in
gambling on
horse racing,
greyhound racing,
jai alai, and all
sporting events of relatively short duration in which participants finish in a ranked order. A modified parimutuel system is also used in some
lottery games.Parimutuel gambling is frequently state-regulated, and offered in many places where gambling is otherwise illegal. Parimutuel gambling is often also offered at "
off track" facilities, where players may bet on the events without actually being present to observe them in person.
