DEF

Pari-mutuel betting conducted at a racetrack or in a betting theatre of an association otherwise than by buying a ticket.

CONT

One stumbling block was the refusal of race-tracks and horse owners to cooperate with the off-track betting corporation on the ground that the share of off-track wagering allocated to them as compensation for loss of patronage at the tracks was woefully inadequate: only 1 1/2 percent, compared to more than 7 percent of on-track wagering, was returned to the sport.
