Pari-mutuels see financial hope in poker

There was a time when betting on a horse was enough. You slid a $2 bill across the counter to the cashier at a racetrack and two minutes later you’d either collect on your bet or tear the ticket in half and let it fall under foot.

Poker glossary:

TOKE - Gambling term for "tip", as in "Toke the cocktail waitress". Comes from the term "Token of appreciation".
ONE-EYED - The jack of hearts, jack of spades or king of diamonds. So named because the characters are drawn in profile, thus showing only one eye.
BLUFF - To make a bet or raise with a poor hand, in hope that the remaining active player(s) will fold.
FORCED BET - In some stud games a player may be required to make a bet to start the action on the first card. This is similar conceptually to blinds and antes, but in this case is dependent on the cards shown rather than player position. Usually the weakest hand is forced to bet.
SIDE POT - When an active player runs out of money during the course of a hand, the remaining players participate in a second or SIDE POT for the rest of the hand. Additional side pots are possible if several players run out of money at different points in a hand.
POT ODDS - The amount of money in the pot divided by the amount of money you must bet in order to call. Often used to determine if a pot offers enough reward to play on the come.
