  • Patent number: 5374060
    Abstract: A method of wagering at a racetrack where the racing entities are typically horses or dogs in whose practice cards are made available to persons attending the races for entering, prior to the beginning of the schedule of races, or, for latecomers, the beginning of a predetermined race herein called the nth race, the identification of the racing entities which each person selects to be "in the money." Cards are available for WIN alone, and/or for WIN and PLACE and/or for WIN, PLACE and SHOW. The payout is on a correct selection of all entities, on all entities less one, on all entities less two, etc., up to for all entities less a predetermined number. The payout is a predetermined prize assigned prior to the start of the races and is commensurate with the probability of the correct selection as the case may be. At racetracks where the entities in each race are numbered sequentially, there are also two types of payoffs.
