● What is Pari-Mutuel Wagering?

When you make a wager at a racetrack you are NOT betting against the “house” as with most casino games. Pari-mutuel wagering means “betting among ourselves.” The odds are dynamic and are solely dependent upon how you, the participants, place your wagers. When you’re at the track or a simulcast wagering facility, the track extracts a commission from all wagers made, and re-distributes the remaining funds (or wagering pool) among the winners.

In fact, the racetrack has absolutely no interest in the outcome of the race. The track receives its commission per wager, similar to a stockbroker’s compensation, no matter whether a favorite or longshot wins. YOUR wagering determines the favorite and longshot odds, NOT racetrack management.

● Where are the payables, odds, payouts etc?

The odds determine your payout. A 2:1 horse would pay $4 for a $2 bet, and you would receive a total of $6 credited to your account. The odds are dynamic and are solely dependent upon how you, the participants, place your wagers. For up to date odds, you can look at the white numbers next to each horse icon.● Where can I find more information about the horses in each race?
