pertaruhan


Explanation:
bertaruh is the verb, the act of placing a bet. The bet itself is pertaruhan. So, I agree with Muhd. Rushdi: it depends on how you want to use the odds. For the sample sentence provided: Allow members to take the odds on a race- Membenarkan ahli membuat pertaruhan dalam perlumbaan is also correct.
