How To Bet It’s Easy To Make a Wager! What is Pari-Mutuel Wagering? Pari-mutuel * “betting among ourselves.” When you place a wager at the track, you are not betting against the “house” as you would be at a casino. Insteak, you are betting your choice or choices against those of everyone else at the racetrack. The following steps are taken to figure the payout of a pool in pari-mutual wagering: The host takes out the allowed percentage to cover cost and purses (electricity, payroll, etc.) The remaining money is divided equally among the number of winning tickets held by the public. Any carryover pool is first figured by taking outh allowed percentage, dividing what is left fifty-fifty. Fifty percent goes to the patrons who hit the first half &the remaining fifty percent goes to the carryover pool.
