Abstract

Abstract : Under the pari-mutuel system of betting on horse races the final track's odds are in some sense a consensus of the 'subjective odds' of the individual bettors weighted by the amounts of their bets. The properties which this consensus must possess and prove that there always exists a unique set of odds having the required properties are formulated. (Author)
