Out of interest, "Tote" is short for Totalisator, a system
introduced to Britain in 1929 to offer pool betting on racecourses.
It works like this: all the stakes on a race are pooled, a
deduction is made to cover costs and the Tote's contribution
to racing. The remainder of the pool is divided by the number
of winning units to give a dividend which is declared inclusive
of a £1 stake. In other words, pool customers bet against
each other, whereas in bookmaking they bet against the bookmaker.
Odds fluctuate according to the pattern of betting and betting
ceases at the 'off'.
