> Hong Kong racing uses a parimutuel system.
I was surprised to see this word.
It’s from French pari mutuel that can be translated « mutual bet »
The official horse racing agency in France is called PMU (for Pari Mutuel Urbain, or urban mutual bet)
It’s fun how words move from a language to another.
