are automatically settled on a F.P.P. basis unless otherwise stated in the office
or by R.O.R.if requested by the client. The advertised times of races, the
runners the returns and the results as published in the national/sporting press
will govern the settlement of all bets, errors and omissions accepted. Through
the card type instructions will be determined by reference to the Published race
programme, as will instructions "first race" "last race" etc. In the event
of no starting prices being returned, all selections for which a price has not
been laid, will be declared void and treated as non runners for the purpose of
the settlement.
Unless
otherwise advertised by us, bets are accepted only at Starting Price,, Board Price
Morning Price or Ante Post price: if taken at Tote Returns in error, win and place
single or accumulative bets will be settled at starting price and Forecast bets
will be settled in accordance with our rule 14. Each way doubles, trebles
and accumulators are settled win to win and place to place; When three or
more selections are made for a race in a wager involving straight forecasts, settlement
will be made as a full combination of those selections, unless each required forecasts
is written individually. In accumulative wagers where bet contingencies
for a horse or greyhound that runs in a race or at a meeting not precluded by
our rules will be executed for that race unless the selection is specifically
timed by the Client of by our Rule 13 for another race for prices, we reserve
the right to withhold payment of returns pending the outcome of any subsequent
inquiry. 6.
Time of Acceptance
In
the case of races covered by S.I.S. for which and "Off" signal is given, we officially
cease to take bets after we have processed and photographed the "Off Slip".
For other races or events, bets are only accepted up to the advertised time of
starting, Should a client, subsequent to the result of a race having been
determined or after we have officially ceased to take bets on a race include in
his instructions a selection for that race, it will be treated as a non runner
win or lose. 7.
Incorrect Stakes or Instructions
Where
it is quite clear from written instructions on the bet what the client intended
to back, nothing in this rule shall over rule this.
INCORRECT NUMBER
OF BETS OR SELECTIONS: Where the number of singles, doubles, trebles and accumulators
are specified unless it is obvious which part of the bet is under staked or over
staked, the total amount staked will be equally divided over the full bet.
Where an incorrect number of selections is given in a "Yankee" or similar full
cover named bet, whether the instructions are specified by name or written out
in full at equal stakes the total stake will be divided and invested equally on
the full number doubles, trebles fore folds etc., as determined by by the number
of selections given. Where a permutation is used which could apply equally to
Computer Straight Forecasts and Computer Tricasts, in the absence of specific
instruction the bet will be settled as for Computer Straight Forecasts.
INCORRECT
STAKES: Unless covered by the preceding section where the amount of stake
money received is more or less than the required to execute a wager in full the
whole stake will be executed in proportion. AMBIGUOUS
INSTRUCTIONS: Should the name of a selection be incorrectly written or should
and unnamed selection be untimed or incorrectly timed or should a client's instruction
be loosely worded, the bet will be executed provided we are satisfied by reference
to our security time stamp or off slip procedure, otherwise as the the client's
intentions, if not any selections so involved will be treated as non runners as
will any selections for races precluded by our rules. However, where instructions
are given for unnamed selections at morning of afternoon B.A.G.S. Meetings and
where the scheduled race time and meeting stated do not correspond then the race
time will take precedence for the purpose of settlement.
Where a time
and meeting is clearly stated but no selection is indicated by name or trap number,
the favorite in that race will be taken as the client's selection. Where
selections are given by instructions and stakes are completely omitted the stake
available will be divided and invested equally as single bets on each of the selections
given. In all cased bets will be settled as win bets, unless each way is
specified. Should the name of a selection be incorrectly written so as to be interpreted
as to separate selections i.e. Red Rum or Desert Orchid and the client writes
Red Orchid, stakes will be equally divided on both selections involved.
CONTINGENCY
BETS: Bets may not be combined where the result of one influences the outcome
of another. Any double or similar type bet accepted without an appropriately
reduced price being agreed, in the above circumstances will be settled as single
bets on each selection with the stake being equally divided.
If the same selection
is repeated in a double, treble or accumulator, than a non runner will be substituted
for the repeated selection/ When a horse and greyhound with identical names
are engaged to run on one and the same day, untimed bets for that selection will
be settled for the horse race unless it is otherwise indicated that the greyhound
required. Where a selection is given both by name and trap number the name
will take precedence for the purpose of settlement, Untimed or wrongly timed
bets on unnamed favorites where the meeting is specified, will automatically settled
for the next race after acceptance of the bet at that meeting/
8. Board
& Morning Prices
At
all norse or greyhound meetings where we are receiving a course betting service
we will lay the current
quoted
price of the selection at the time the bet is accepted. Neither a bar price
nor the instruction first show will be accepted; if taken in error the selection
will be settled at starting price. Clients wishing to bet at board
or morning prices must stipulate this when handling in the bet and ensure that
the quoted price is marked on the betting slip by our staff, or countersigned
by them, otherwise the bet will be settled at starting price.
Where a board
or morning price is this will apply to the selection throughout the slip.
Should there be an (Official) correction of a price which had earlier been wrongly
transmitted all wagers struck on that price will be settled at the corrected price
or starting price whichever is greater, a similar correction will be made where
due to a mistake by a member of our staff a price had been incorrectly quoted,
whether to the clients advantage or not. This rule will similarly apply
where morning prices advertised or displayed on the day of an event are marked
incorrectly on the betting slip by a member of our staff . Settlement of the place
part of each way bets where a price has been laid (excepting ante post) is determined
by our rule 11. A horse race bet laid in accordance with advertised or circulated
prices on the day of the race is not an ante post bet and in the event of any
withdrawals such horses will count as non runners and bets for other horses will
be subject to a deduction equivalent to that of Tattersalls Rule 4. The
rate depending upon the advertised or quoted prices of the withdrawn horses.
N.B. Morning Prices are available up to the transmitted 1st show.
9. Favorites
A. In any race
the favorite is the horse quoted in the official starting price return at the
shortest odds. The second favorite is the horse quoted at the next shortest
odds and so on. I f two horses should be quoted at the same odds and if
these odds should be shorter than those quoted against any other horse than
these two horses are the joint first and second favorites.
B. Subject to
section (C) of this rule, where a client uses the word favorite or second favorite
to indicate the selection the stake will be invested equally amongst each of the
selected horses. However, if such joint favorites are returned at a price
where irrespective of result no profit accrue to a backer of the favorite, the
unnamed favorite will be treated as a non runner. This section and section
(A) with the exception of 2nd favorite will apply equally to greyhound racing.
C. Commissions
for unnamed favorites or additionally in the case of horse racing of unnamed second
favorites will be accepted win only. The place part of any such commission if
taken will be declared void.
D.
Commissions for second favorites at Greyhound Meetings are not accepted and even
if inadvertently taken will be declared void. Should a favorite commission
be timed for one of the races on days programme but no meeting or an unscheduled
meeting be specified, it will be executed as for the Principle Meeting where the
time coincides. 10.
Ante Post Betting
All
ante post bets are accepted and settled on a rules of racing basis only.
Ante post bets are accepted on the principle of all in enter or not, run or not.
Should a selection become a non runner after the time of acceptance the bet will
be a losing one. All Ante Post prices are subject to fluctuation
and Ante Post bets will be settled at the price ruling at the time of acceptance
which must be confirmed by the Manager, and must be recorded on the betting slip
by our staff. The right is reserved to correct any palpable error.
Doubles, trebles and accumulators will be calculated at a accumulative odds, except
when the same selection is taken to win two or more events, when reduced odds
may apply. When there has been Ante Post betting on a event which does not
eventually take place will be treated as non runners and the remaining selections
settled at the ante post prices laid. If a horse is balloted out under Jocky
Club Rule 125 single bets will stand, the balloted out selections being treated
as a non runner and the remaining selections settled at the Ante post prices laid.
In the event of a race being post poned bets will be divided in accordance with
Tattersalls ruling. Each way Ante Post bets are settled win to win and place
to place. We do not accept place only ,any to come, or if cash bets at ante
post odds. In the event of a postponement of a race or even if the declarations
are re-opened- all bets placed before the postponement will stand for 1 week from
the original date, then will be declared void. 11.

Dead Heats
In
the event of a dead heat, clients lose half their stakes and are paid full odds
to the other half. e.g. if a client invests 50p on a selection that starts
@ 10/1 and which dead heats for 1st place, half the stake is lost leaving 25p
stakes @ 10/1. A similar rule applies to place betting where as a result
of a dead heat more than the required number of horses are placed. In the
event of a multiple dead heat stakes will be divided in proportion.
13. Doubly Engaged
Where a client
specifies the time of a race the selection will be taken for that race only.
An untimed single bet for a selection which is doubly engaged will be timed for
the first race for which it runs excepting that where and "if absent" selection
is given this will be taken as timing the bet for the race in which both selections
are engaged: if however, an untimed bet for a horse enged in a flat race and a
hurele or steeplechase is taken it will be timed for the flat race. If two
selections one of which is doubly engaged are included in a double treble or accumulator
but rn in the same race, the selection which is doubly engaged will be automatically
tmed for the race in which the entries do not clash. If both are doubly
engaged the selection written first in the clients instuctions will be timed for
the race in which it runs, the second selection being automatically timed for
the race in which the entries do not clash. Should this paragraph apply
to any part of a combination vet it will continue to apply to the whole of that
combination except that a single commissions will be treated as entirely seperate
bets. 14.
Forecasts
Subject
to the following rules, Forecasts are accepted in singles, doubles and trebles
only. If the forecast should contain a non runner, if the same selection
is repeated or if the selections run in different races, the forecast will will

returns. Where a client nominated a dual forecast in a race of which
a straight forecast is declared, the stake will be divided and invested as two
straight forecasts. If for any reason no computer forecast is returned bets
will be settled by reference on the N.S.L. Straight Forecast Chart. Should one
runner finish alone, a dividend for the winner with any other runner will be passed
by S.I.S. B.
