Historical Usage
Quiniel was a 16th century French monk who developed a method for predicting the outcomes of horse races based on the statistical analysis of past results. This method became known as the Quinielle or French Quadriple, which is the precursor to the modern-day parimutuel betting system.
Late 16th Century
The name Quiniel is believed to have originated from the French word 'quinielle', meaning 'fifth', which refers to the fifth prize in French horse racing. This prize was introduced in the late 19th century and was based on the Quinielle system, which was a precursor to the modern-day quinella bet.
