About odds and dividend(配当)
Dividend is decided by parimutuel system.

You purchase the betting ticket in a sales store(WINS or Race course or on internet). At this time, the dividend is unknown.  And JRA pools all the amount of purchase. Then, a race is performed and the number and people who success in elections decide.
The difference which pulled costs(based on deduction rate), such as operational expenses, is distributed by a successful candidate.
