Pari Mutuel

First, what is the Pari Mutuel betting? According to ARJEL: it is a principle where the betting stakes wagered by all punters, are shared in a common pot and redistributed to the winners in proportion to their stakes.

Clearly, this is not the same thing as odds Betting. But has the advantage of maximizing the gains of bettors. This is the principle of the french horse racing french bookmaker PMU (pari-mutuel urban). However the point of Pari Mutuel may also be to allow betters to bet with or against friends or colleagues.That is the idea behind Friendbet, the new website where Friends can bet together.

The concept is simple but completely new: you bet with your friends and discusses games that fascinate you. The point is that you no longer need to be with yours friends, watching a game in order to criticize their passion for Manchester U. You can start right from the confort of your office desktop while you are getting ready for watching the evening game. In addition you can earn money from your pals!

Friendbet : A novelty on the web that has been there for ever in “real world”…

We all have a point of view on the next soccer game and we all love to argue for hours with friends in a pub over a beer, with colleagues at the office next to the coffee machine or at home with our family while watching the game…

Of course we always think we are right and are ready to bet anything to prove our point. But now thanks to Friendbet we will be able to have a unique, friendly and user-friendbly internet based interface that will allow us to express this basic need to prove our love for sports and our will to argue over it with friends, family and colleagues everywhere we will go and with anyone we know, providing only that they can connect to the web !

Imagine being able to argue with Paul that moved to Australia last summer and with Rebecca that got married to an irish man in Dublin over the game that you are all following from your different locations ?

You can also start betting with your friends and colleagues in a friendly environment where one of you is sure to win the pot ! Friendbet’s aim is just to make it easier for you, and provide you with the technical help to do what you normally can only do with your friends when you see them.
