Giocata sistemistica

Italian to English Bus/Financial Games / Video Games / Gaming / Casino Fixed odds betting

The existing glossary entry for this term is 'system', which I don't feel adequately renders the Italian. I'm hoping that someone who knows a little about betting terminology can help me out!

Per giocata sistemistica, si indica una modalità di gioco che consente di creare un insieme di scommesse a quota fissa, combinando tra di loro più esiti pronosticabili, convalidate contemporaneamente in un'unica ricevuta di partecipazione.

Shabelula Apr 19, 2016: sono pronostici computerizzati. Il "sistema" è elaborato elettronicamente non so se secondo il calcolo delle probabilità puro e semplice o tenendo conto dei risultati passati delle squadre. Forse computerised forecast?
Ivana UK (asker) Apr 19, 2016: I don't know much about betting so I could be wrong but from what I can see, 'giocata sistemistica' seems to apply only to fixed odds bets, which does not appear to be the case with system betting.

Tom in London Apr 19, 2016: I agree with Phil "System" is the usual term (at least for the fools who don't know that if you're playing on a machine,behind a glass screen all the machines are being controlled and you are being allowed to win when it looks as if you might be about to stop playing and losing your money).
philgoddard Apr 19, 2016: Why don't you like "system"? http://help.bwin.com/en/sports-help/live-betting/bet-types/w...
