Australia's TAB has a pari-mutuel Fixed Odds Wagering model that was researched by the late Stan Bergstein and his team several years ago. There's widespread agreement that locked in pricing has tremendous appeal and upside.

I could write the software to do it here. It would make win betting a lot more attractive. In all but the biggest pools where what you see is about what you get (NY/CA/big days), I avoid win betting because at the end of the day, a horse might be a good wager at 5-1 but not 5/2.
