off-track betting

Distant race gambling

Off-track betting is wagering on horse races at a location away from the racetrack itself—typically a dedicated betting parlor or licensed establishment that broadcasts races and accepts bets.

The system allows gamblers to place bets without attending the track: He spent Saturday afternoon at the off-track betting facility downtown.

Often abbreviated OTB.
