General Features
These features
apply to both the Premium and Thoroughbred Editions |
|
|
Handles the most-popular types of
bets! |
|
Track win, place,
show, exacta, trifecta, daily-double, pick 3, pick 4, pick 5, and pick 6 types of bets.
Handles “boxed” exacta and trifecta bets effortlessly. Also handles
“field” bets, where multiple racers are included on one bet. |
|
Handles thousands of
bettors and
bets! |
|
Depending on the available memory
and disk space on your computer, Backyard Bookie can handle
thousands of bettors and bets in one file. |
|
Fully functional betting window! |
|
Place or cash multiple bets in one
transaction and settle up with the bettor in a few easy clicks
of the mouse. |
|
Display or print the current
betting pools and odds! |
|
You can display the betting pools and the odds for win, place, show, exacta, and daily
double bets. You can have the system automatically scroll through all of the available
odds automatically – just like a race track tote board! |
|
Calculate and display winning
payouts...
or enter your own payout amounts! |
|
Simply
point-and-click to record the race results and, in seconds, the winning payouts are
calculated and displayed. Payouts are calculated so that all money taken in is
re-distributed to the winners or so that the specified holdback percentage for charity is
kept in the bank.
Backyard Bookie also allows you to enter you own payout amounts! Make your payouts the same as
the track's! Once payouts are determined, Backyard Bookie automatically determines what is
owed for each bet taken in. |
|
|
Flexible race card settings! |
|
For each race on the race card, Backyard Bookie allows you to
choose what types of bets are allowable, what the minimum bet
will be, and how to round off payouts. |
|
Allows the setting of the house
“cut”! |
| For
each race, you can specify a flat amount to be withheld from win bets, or a percentage of
bets to be withheld from all bets. For charity events, simply hold back a percentage of
the bets from the winnings as the charitable contribution amount! |
|
Print tickets or track
bets by bettor name! |
| You have your
choice of printing out tickets as they are placed or recording
the name or initials of the bettor for each bet.
Recording the names or initials allows Backyard Bookie to
compute the total winnings per person, making the payout
process a snap! |
|
Track amounts collected and paid
out! |
| As bets are placed
and winnings determined, Backyard Bookie can keep track of what is owed to or due from
each individual bettor. |
|
Track information about bettors and
copy this info from one file to another! |
| Backyard Bookie
allows you to track a bettors name, e-mail address, phone
number, and any other information that you might need. If you
need to start a new file for the same group of bettors, you
can copy over bettor information from any other Backyard
Bookie file. |
