PARI-MUTUEL BETTING.. With the exception of the tracks in the state of New York, the Pari-Mutuel system of betting prevails at all other race courses in the United States and Canada. At some it is called "Certificates" or "Donations" but essentially it is the same Pari-Mutuels. The distinguishing feature of mutuel betting is that it is the public that makes the odds. In order to understand this method, which also prevails in Australia, Prance and in England in connection with the bookmakers, The American Racing Manual has prepared a comprehensive explanation which, with examples, presents just how the Pari-Mutuel system is operated. It is alone worth the price of the Manual, the 1939 edition which has a number of new features not previously found in this valuable turf annual. Judging from the insistent demand for this publication, rightfully styled the "Wonder Book of the Turf," the entire 1939 edition will be sold.
