tote board

Betting information screen

A tote board is a large display showing betting odds and payouts at a racetrack, updating in real time as wagers come in.

The term extends to any large display tracking votes, donations, or running totals: The telethon's tote board showed they'd raised two million dollars.

Short for totalizator board.
