47-663: The original ApHC articles of incorporation were signed by founders Claude and Faye Thompson, Dr. Francis Haines, Ernest Kuck and Frank Dick in December 1938. The ApHC operated out of the Thompson's home in Moro, Oregon , through 1947. George Hatley of Moscow, Idaho , who joined the organization in 1942, offered in 1946 to create a newsletter for the ApHC's members. Claude Thompson recruited Hatley as assistant secretary, and Hatley published

94-441: A Canadian or Super Yankee trying to pick five; these also include subsidiary bets. There are also other bets which are large combinations of singles, doubles, trebles and accumulators some of them are called Lucky 15, Lucky 31, Heinz, Super Heinz, Goliath. The term nap identifies the best bet of the day. Tote Ireland operates the following pools Bet types for harness racing (trotting): The Hong Kong Jockey Club (HKJC) operates

141-444: A bet involving two or more races. For example, a 1-all daily double wheel bets the 1-horse in the first race with every horse in the second. People making straight bets commonly employ the strategy of an "each way" bet. Here the bettor picks a horse and bets it will win, and makes an additional bet that it will show, so that theoretically if the horse runs third it will at least pay back the two bets. The Canadian and American equivalent

188-423: A hypothetical event that has eight possible outcomes, in a country using a decimal currency such as dollars , each outcome has a certain amount of money wagered: Thus, the total pool of money on the event is $ 1028.00. Following the start of the event, no more wagers are accepted. The event is decided and the winning outcome is determined to be Outcome 4 with $ 110.00 wagered. The payout is now calculated. First

235-403: A negative breakage may occur—for example, in horse racing when an overwhelming favorite wins (or shows or places). The parimutuel calculation results might call for a very small winning payout (say, $ 1.02 or $ 1.03 on a dollar bet), but legal regulations might require a larger payout (e.g., minimum $ 1.10 on a dollar bet). This condition is sometimes referred to as a minus pool. In an event with

282-869: A regular registered Appaloosa. The only exception to the bloodline requirements is in the case of Appaloosa colored geldings or spayed mares with unknown pedigrees; owners may apply for "hardship registration" for these non-breeding horses. The Appaloosa Horse Club supports a variety of levels for owners to show their Appaloosas, from local open shows to the World Championship Appaloosa Show. Appaloosa Competitive All-breed Activities Program (ACAAP) allows owners to compete with their Appaloosas in competition outside of ApHC-approved or -sponsored shows by recognizing and awarding Appaloosas for achievements in all-breed competitions in many disciplines, including barrel racing, combined training, driving, trail riding and jumping. The Appaloosa Breeders' Trust

376-664: A trace of rain. Between June 15 and September 18 of 1932 there were ninety-six days without even a trace of rainfall. Temperatures will reach 90 °F or 32.2 °C on an average of twenty afternoons, though 100 °F or 37.8 °C can be expected only twice each year. The hottest temperature on record has been 111 °F (43.9 °C) on July 27 of 1939. Summer mornings are comfortable: as early as August 29, 1980 temperatures of 31 °F (−0.6 °C) were reported. Winters are cold if not usually severe: maxima top freezing on all but twenty afternoons and only two mornings each winter will fall to or below 0 °F or −17.8 °C, with

423-447: Is an investment and incentive program offered to owners of Appaloosa stallions and their foals. For an annual fee, the stallion is enrolled and the offspring of the stallion are then eligible for nomination to the five-year incentive program. All funds (minus a five percent administrative charge) are maintained in a separate account and subsequently distributed back to the horse owners, in direct proportion to ApHC-sanctioned points earned by

470-413: Is determined by a set multiple of the outcome, for example $ 60 for a five horse boxed trifecta at one unit ($ 1)—or $ 30 at half unit (50c). If the bet is successful, the bettor will get either the full winning amount shown on the board, or half the winning amount. Under a flexi system the bettor can nominate their desired total wager, and their percentage of payout is determined by this wager's relationship to

517-424: Is the bet across (short for across the board ): the bettor bets equal sums on the horse to win, place, and show. A parlay, accumulator or roll-up consists of a series of bets in which bettors stake the winnings from one race on the next in order until either the bettor loses or the series completes successfully. In Australia, certain exotic bet types can be laid as "flexi" bets. Usually the price of an exotic bet

564-468: The k winners, those who bet on outcome m will receive a payout of ( W R / k ) / W m for every dollar they bet on it. The parimutuel system was invented by French- Catalan entrepreneur and showman impresario Joseph Oller in 1867. The large amount of calculation involved in this system led to the invention of a specialized mechanical calculating machine known as a totalisator , "automatic totalisator" or "tote board", invented by

611-633: The Australian engineer George Alfred Julius . The first was installed at Ellerslie Racecourse , Auckland , New Zealand, in 1913, and they came into widespread use at race courses throughout the world. The U.S. introduction was in 1927, which led to the opening of the suburban Arlington Racetrack in Arlington Park , near Chicago, and Sportsman's Park in Cicero, Illinois , in 1932. Unlike many forms of casino gambling, in parimutuel betting

658-426: The commission or take for the wagering company is deducted from the pool. For example, with a commission rate of 14.25% the calculation is: $ 1028 × 0.1425 = $ 146.49. This leaves a remaining amount of $ 881.51. This remaining amount in the pool is now distributed to those who wagered on Outcome 4: $ 881.51 / $ 110.00 = 8.01 ≈ $ 8 payout for $ 1 wagered. This payout includes the $ 1 wagered plus an additional $ 7 profit. Thus,

705-464: The ApHC had 296 registered horses, ranking ninth in annual registrations among light-horse breeds. The first official membership meeting and election of national directors occurred June 19, 1948, before the first National Show. The ApHC states that the Appaloosa is "a breed defined by ApHC bloodline requirements and preferred characteristics, including coat pattern." In other words, the ApHC considers

752-460: The Appaloosa as a distinct breed from limited bloodlines with distinct physical traits and a desired color. Thus, Appaloosas are not strictly a " color breed ." All ApHC-registered Appaloosas must be the offspring of two registered Appaloosa parents or a registered Appaloosa and a horse from another approved breed registry. The ApHC lists Arabian horses , Quarter Horses , and Thoroughbreds as approved breeds. In all cases, one parent must always be

1222-464: The driest from July 1967 to June 1968 with 5.49 inches (139.4 mm), whilst he most precipitation in one day has been 1.67 inches (42.4 mm) on January 9, 1953. Snowfall averages 17 inches or 0.43 metres, but varies greatly between years: in January 1950 54.4 inches (1.38 m) fell and led to a total of 65 inches (1.65 m) for the full season, but in many years there is little snow – there

1269-427: The final payout is not determined until the pool is closed – in fixed-odds betting, the payout is agreed at the time the bet is sold. Parimutuel gambling is frequently state-regulated, and offered in many places where gambling is otherwise illegal. Parimutuel gambling is often also offered at " off track " facilities, where players may bet on the events without actually being present to observe them in person. In

1316-606: The first edition of the Appaloosa News , then a single mimeographed page. Hatley was named executive secretary in 1947, while also a sophomore at the University of Idaho . Shortly after, the ApHC office was moved to the Hatley's Moscow home. For a time, stud fees from Hatley's Appaloosa stallion were used to help finance the ApHC. Hatley and Francis Haines began the process of publishing the ApHC's first stud book. By 1948

1363-586: The foals. Breeders' Trust gives 85 percent of paid monies in 5 equal parts for five age categories: Yearlings, Two-year-olds, Three-year-olds, Four-year-olds and Five-year-olds.

Wager must be a multiple of 100 yen except Each-way. The following bet type are offered by the government-controlled betting agency Pari Mutuel Urbain (PMU). Tiercé, Quarté+ and Quinté+ bets are typically only offered on

1457-566: The full unit price. Using a five horse box trifecta, the bettor may wish to lay only $ 20 on the outcome. Their percentage of winnings is now calculated as $ 20/$ 60 = 33.3%. If the bet is successful, the payout will be 33.3% of the winning amount for a full unit bet. In recent times the "Roving Banker" variant for Trifecta and First4 betting is now offered.

1504-482: The gambler bets against other gamblers, not the house, which necessarily implies that the bank cannot be broken . The science of predicting the outcome of a race is called handicapping . Independent off-track bookmakers typically have a smaller take and thus offer better payoffs, but they are illegal in some countries. However, the introduction of Internet gambling led to "rebate shops". These off-shore betting shops promise to return some percentage of every bet made to

1551-607: The list. In 1994, the National Color Breed Racing Council formed to promote Appaloosa and Paint racing as a joint venture. Appaloosa racehorses can earn various awards from the ApHC, including a Racing Register of Merit, year-end awards, medallions, and regional awards. The ApHC also records world and track records for Appaloosa racehorses. The Appaloosa Race Hall of Fame was formed in 1988, inducting eight racehorses and eight influential horsemen. Nominations are submitted by ApHC members and voted on by

1598-410: The odds on Outcome 4 are 7-to-1 (or, expressed as decimal odds , 8.01). Prior to the event, betting agencies will often provide an approximate pay-out figure for each given outcome should no more bets be accepted after the current time. Using the wagers and commission rate above (14.25%), an approximates table in decimal odds and fractional odds would be: In real-life examples, such as horse racing ,

1645-482: The pool among all winning bets. In some countries it is known as the tote after the totalisator , which calculates and displays bets already made. The parimutuel system is used in gambling on horse racing , greyhound racing , jai alai , and other sporting events of relatively short duration in which participants finish in a ranked order. A modified parimutuel system is also used in some lottery games. Parimutuel betting differs from fixed-odds betting in that

1692-489: The pool size often extends into millions of dollars with many different types of outcomes (winning horses) and complex commission calculations. Sometimes, the amounts paid out are rounded down to a denomination interval—in California , Australia , and British Columbia , 10¢ intervals are used. The rounding loss is known as breakage and is retained by the betting agency as part of the commission. In some situations,

1786-510: The remaining place(s). A Roving Banker Trifecta is where the player believes that one or two runners will definitely finish 1st, 2nd or 3rd. The bet can be placed by picking the player's favourite runner to finish in any place within the bet and complete the Trifecta with any number of other runners to fill the other placing(s). The following pools are operated at meetings in mainland Britain: Exotic wagers are usually made on horses running at

1833-459: The remaining wagers as exotic bets. Bettors usually make multiple wagers on exotic bets. A box consists of a multiple wager in which bettors bet all possible combinations of a group of horses in the same race. A key involves making a multiple wager with a single horse in one race bet in one position with all possible combinations of other selected horses in a single race. A multi-race wheel (cf. wheel, above) consists of betting all horses in one race of

1880-576: The same track on the same program. In the United Kingdom , bookmakers also offer exotic wagers on horses at different tracks. Probably the Yankee occurs most commonly: in this the bettor tries to pick the winner of four races. This bet also includes subsidiary wagers on smaller combinations of the chosen horses; for example, if only two of the four horses win, the bettor still collects for their double. A Trixie requires trying to pick three winners, and

1927-408: The successful bettors is W R = W T (1 − r ) . Those who bet on the successful outcome m will receive a payout of W R / W m for every dollar they bet on it. When there are k possible winners, such as a North American "place" bet which has k = 2 winners, the total amount to be distributed W R is first divided into k equal shares. If m is one of
