Winning horse betting ticket - Winning horse betting ticket

Japanese: 勝馬投票券 - かちうまとうひょうけん

Also called a betting ticket. There are five types of betting tickets currently available in Japan's JRA: a win bet, which selects the first-place horse; a place bet, which selects one of the horses that finish in the top three places (or second, depending on the number of horses entered); a gate number quinella bet, which selects the gate numbers of the first and second-place horses (regardless of their order) as a pair; a regular horse number quinella bet, which selects the horse numbers; and an extended horse number quinella bet (commonly known as a wide bet), which selects two horses that finish in the top three places. In local races, there are also bets such as a quinella bet, which selects the first and second-place horses in the order of their order. In other countries, there are also bets such as a trifecta bet, which selects the top three horses in the order of their order, and a multiple bet, which selects the first-place horse in each of several races as a pair. The total amount of money earned from the sale of each type of betting ticket for each race is deducted by a predetermined ratio (deduction rate), and the remaining amount is divided proportionally among the winning tickets to be paid out as a payout (also called a dividend). In Japan, the deduction rate is set at a flat rate of about 25% regardless of the type of betting ticket. However, in many foreign countries, the deduction rate differs depending on the type of betting ticket. In recent years, computers have been introduced into the sale and payment of betting tickets in many countries, including Japan, and have made great strides in terms of accuracy and speed.

Japanese:

馬券とも呼ばれる。日本の中央競馬で現在発売されている馬券は，1着馬を的中させる単勝式，3着 (出走頭数によって2着) までの入着馬のうちいずれか1頭を的中させる複勝式，1，2着馬 (順位は不問) を1組にしてその枠番号を的中させる枠番号連勝複式，およびその馬番号を的中させる普通馬番号連勝複式，さらに3着以内の馬2頭を的中させる拡大馬番号連勝複式 (通称ワイド) の5種類がある。そのほか地方競馬では，1，2着馬を順位通りにあてる連勝単式などがある。外国では，このほか上位3着馬までをその順位どおりに的中させる3連勝単式や，数レースを1組にして各レースの1着馬を的中させる重勝式などの馬券もある。各レースごとに各種類別の馬券の売得金総額から，あらかじめ定められた比率 (控除率) によって控除された残額を，的中数に案分して払戻されるのが払戻し金 (配当金とも呼ぶ) であるが，日本では馬券の種類を問わず，その控除率は一律約 25%に決められている。しかし，外国では馬券の種類によって控除率が異なる例も少くない。なお，近年日本を含め多くの国で馬券の発売・払戻し業務にコンピュータが導入され，正確・迅速の面で格段の進歩をとげた。
