Junior Parimutuel Ticket Seller

As a Junior Parimutuel Ticket Seller, you''re working betting windows where customers place wagers on horse or dog races. You''re taking betting requests, inputting them into the wagering system, collecting money, and issuing tickets — all while the clock ticks toward post time.

Your work is driven by the racing schedule. Activity spikes before each race as bettors rush to place their wagers, then slows until the next race approaches. You''re hearing betting requests ("$10 exacta box on the 3 and 7"), entering them accurately, and completing transactions before betting closes.

Speed and accuracy are both essential — you can''t be accurate at the expense of speed because bettors won''t get their tickets before betting closes, but errors create problems for you and the customer. The people who excel here can work quickly under time pressure while maintaining focus and accuracy.
