Method and system for conducting concurrent multi-venue multi-race multi-outcome progressive pari-mutuel wagering

A method and system for conducting concurrent multi-venue multi-race, multi-outcome, progressive pari-mutuel wagering allows players to pick the favorite in a prespecified number of races to win, place, and/or show. Players can pick manually, pick specific rows or columns, or utilize quick picks. Pools are seeded, wagers are pooled, and pool winners split pools. When pools aren't won, the amount in the pools transfer to the next pool. An operator interface allows specification of pool and pick types, pool size, ticket price, and pool distribution, including allocation of pool seed, progressive, and operator take.
