parimutuel betting Explanation: Parimutuel betting (from the French: Pari Mutuel or mutual betting) is a betting system in which all bets of a particular type are placed together in a pool; taxes and the "house-take" or "vigorish" are removed, and payoff odds are calculated by sharing the pool among all winning bets. In some countries it is known as the Tote after the totalisator, which calculates and displays bets already made. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parimutuel_betting ccccccccccccccccccccccccccc Zakład wzajemny – zakład o wygrane pieniężne, polegające na odgadywaniu: wyników sportowego współzawodnictwa ludzi lub zwierząt, w których uczestnicy wpłacają stawki, a wysokość wygranej zależy od łącznej kwoty stawek wpłaconych – totalizatory; zaistnienia różnych zdarzeń, w których uczestnicy (przyjmujący zakład i wpłacający stawkę) wpłacają stawki, a wysokość wygranych zależy od umówionego stosunku wpłaty do wygranej – bukmacherstwo. https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zakład_wzajemny -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 12 hrs (2016-09-17 22:06:34 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- cccccccccc Pari Mutuel Urbain (PMU) – jest powstałą w 1930 roku prywatną firmą z branży rozrywkowej, której rolą jest opracowywanie, komercjalizacja i promocja zakładów na wyścigach konnych na rzecz ich francuskich organizatorów PMU jest największym operatorem zakładów wzajemnych w Europie i drugim co do wielkości w skali świata.
