Estaria bien traducir "PARIMUTUO" como "MUTUAL FUND"? COMMON FUND? No encuentro el termino. Alguna sugerencia? Mil gracias por adelantado :)

Parimutuel

Explanation:
Hola María,
Una idea que se basa en este glosario de juegos:

"Parimutuel or Pari-mutuel A common method of payoffs that splits the total available money between all winners of a particular prize level."

No dudo ni descarto que haya otras posibilidades.

Buena suerte y saludos del Oso ¶:^)

parimutuel

Explanation:
parimutuel wagering/betting/gambling

ystem of cooperative wagering invented (c.1870) in France by Pierre Oller. According to the system, the holders of winning tickets divide the total amount of money bet on a race (the pool), after deductions for tax and racetrack expenses. The uniqueness of parimutuel betting lies in the fact that the gambling public itself determines the payoff odds (e.g., if many people have bet on the actual winner of a contest then the payoff will be low, simply because many winners will divide the pool). Parimutuel wagering is the accepted betting procedure at major horse-racing tracks throughout the world. Greyhound tracks and jai alai games also use the system. Considered a major deterrent to illegal bookmaking, the modern parimutuel system depends on high-speed electronic calculators, known as totalizators or tote boards, to record and display up-to-the-minute betting patterns.
