Spanish term or phrase: Patronato de Apuestas Mutuas Deportivo Benéficas
From an academic paper, so I will maintain the original for the purposes of reference, but need to offer a translation as well, even if only explanatory.

I've seen a number of translation questions from the world of gaming recently, so I wonder if anyone has come across this one.

TIA

Official off-course betting system


Explanation:
I think this sounds like a system similar to Pari Mutuel in France and the Tote (or Totalisator) in the United Kingdom - the odds are calculated mechanically by pooling all the bets everywhere at any given moment, rather than by a bookie on the racecourse.
